Abstract
In his main scientific treatise, "Philosophiae naturalis theoria redacta ad unicam legem virium in natura existentium", R. G. Boscovich, a great Dalmatian mathematician, scientist and philosopher, appeals to Leibnizian monadological dynamism in order to overpass the limits of Newtonian mechanism and so he foresees some important developments of contemporary physics, substituting energy for matter, centres of force for atoms and giving rise to a radical transformation in the idea of atom.
