Over de Auteur

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz was a prominent German philosopher, mathematician, and polymath who made significant contributions to various fields including calculus, metaphysics, and logic. He is best known for developing calculus independently of Isaac Newton, and his work laid the foundation for modern mathematics. Leibniz's philosophical inquiries revolved around the nature of reality, knowledge, and existence, which he explored through his famous principle of sufficient reason and the concept of monads, fundamental units of reality that interact in a pre-established harmony.
