Leibniz - the universal spirit. From the monad to "God": Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 - 1716), is considered one of the most versatile scholars of his time and was one of the most important philosophers of the late 17th and early 18th century. About himself he once wrote: "When I awoke I had so many ideas that the day was not enough to write them down... Leibniz, who invented himself a computing machine that paved the way for it in the modern sense - the computer. He discovered that computational processes can be carried out easily with a binary number encoding, and also that this can be combined using the binary number code, the principles of arithmetic with the principles of logic... Leibniz, Forefather of Enlightenment, formulated early maxims of rationalism. Quote: "Every person has a reasonable ability to conduct"! When religion and reason match - it would create a true religion (see religion and science, without dogma and corruption, etc. - d.48)...

Interpretation of dali48
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 – 1716) was a German mathematician and philosopher. He wrote in several languages, but primarily in Latin, French and German... Leibniz occupies a prominent place in the history of mathematics and the history of philosophy. He developed the infinitesimal calculus independently of Isaac Newton, and Leibniz's mathematical notation has been widely used ever since it was published. He became one of the most prolific inventors in the field of mechanical calculators. While working on adding automatic multiplication and division to Pascal's calculator, he was the first to describe a pinwheel calculator in 1685 and invented the Leibniz wheel, used in the arithmometer, the first mass-produced mechanical calculator. He also refined the binary number system, which is at the foundation of virtually all digital computers. In philosophy, Leibniz is mostly noted for his optimism, e.g., his conclusion that our Universe is, in a restricted sense, the best possible one that “God” could have created. Leibniz, along with René Descartes and Baruch Spinoza, was one of the three great 17th century advocates of rationalism. The work of Leibniz anticipated modern logic and analytic philosophy, but his philosophy also looks back to the scholastic tradition, in which conclusions are produced by applying reason to first principles or prior definitions rather than to empirical evidence. Leibniz made major contributions to physics and technology, and anticipated notions that surfaced much later in biology, medicine, geology, probability theory, psychology, linguistics, and information science. He wrote works on politics, law, ethics, theology, history, philosophy, and philology. Leibniz's contributions to this vast array of subjects were scattered in various learned journals, in tens of thousands of letters, and in unpublished manuscripts. As of 2012, there is no complete gathering of the writings of Leibniz... (Wikipedia)

“Leibniz's contributions to the world both invention and written works have left a great impression dali48 ... wonderful that you have shared it with us... I never knew any of his history thank you for sharing I will save for reference... how sad that his unpublished manuscripts have not reached us”...
