The picture of the world that Leibniz proposes in his doctrine is undeniably remarkable. The created world we inhabit is, according to Leibniz, the best of all possible worlds. And the world is the best because it is the masterpiece of the most perfect architect: God. God, who possesses all qualities and attributes in the highest degree, could only have acted in the best possible way in creation. According to Leibniz, such a noble task as the creation of the world could only have fallen to the Supreme Being. Inspired by tradition and motivated by the resolution of metaphysical and theological questions, Leibniz attempted at many places in his teaching to provide evidence for God‘s existence and his infinite goodness. The aim of this work is to analyse and clarify the concept of God and his creation within the thesis of the best of all possible worlds in the philosophy of G. W. Leibniz.
