Abstract
Beyond the inner difficulties of studying Leibniz’s practical philosophy -as it is the evolution of his thought, the lack of a systematic treatise where he articulates his ethics, his account of politics and his philosophy of right-, difficulties that explain why this aspect of his philosophy is normally ignored and less studied, through his works we can found a practical philosophy and a theory of universal justice in which pleasure, virtue, and happiness are related. To analyze the relationship between them, I am going to do three things: Firstly, I’ll clarify the role that pleasure and affectivity plays in his practical philosophy; second, I’ll study the distinction between sensible pleasures and those which constitute what Leibniz called spiritual pleasure, in order to clarify his notion of happiness; finally, I’ll establish the relationship between virtue and happiness.
