Sumario:In this paper I analyze the role of the will in the acquisition of belief according to Leibniz. As a response to both Descartes? problematic conception of judgment and the challenge of Pyrrhonian skepticism Leibniz claims that the will has only an indirect role in our judicative acts. Since beliefs are not intentionally taken actions the will can only influence what we do in order to provide new reasons or new experiences which can ground our beliefs. But given that the will is always inclined by our passions epistemic autonomy is the result of the interplay between reason and affection.
