ResumoespanolEste trabajo analiza la complicidad entre las ideas de metamorfosis, preformacion y armonia en el pensamiento de Leibniz. El preformacionismo le permite desarrollar su teoria de la armonia preestablecida en el plano de la filosofia natural. Ademas, las explicaciones ontogeneticas con base en la idea de metamorfosis le situan en la antesala de las teorias de la evolucion. Esto se observa en el modo como explica la relacion entre el viviente y su entorno, en la sustitucion del hilemorfismo por la idea de desarrollo y en incluir la dimension historica en el estudio de la diversidad de las especies. EnglishThe present paper analyses the complicity between the ideas of metamorphosis, preformation and harmony in the thought of Leibniz. The preformationism allows the philosopher to develop his theory of the preestablished harmony in the field of natural philosophy. In addition, the ontogenetic explanations that are based on the idea of metamorphosis situate him as a forerunner of the evolutionary theory. This can be noted in the way he explains the relation between the living and its environments, the substitution of hylomorphism with the idea of development, and the way he incorporates the historical dimension in the study on the diversity of species
