		momentum) in the world Leibnitz substitutes the principle of the conservation of vis viva, and contends that the Cartesian position that motion is measured by velocity should be superseded by the law that moving force (vis motrix) is measured by the square of the velocity (pp.
		Leibnitz further criticizes the Cartesian view that the mind can alter the direction of motion though it cannot initiate it, and contends that the quantity of vis directiva, estimated between the same parts, is constant (p.
		The philosophy of Leibnitz, in the more systematic and abstract form it received at the hands of Wolf, ruled the schools of Germany for nearly a century, and largely determined the character of the critical philosophy by which it was superseded.

		Young Leibnitz was sent to the Nicolai school at Leipzig, but, from 1652 when his father died, seems to have been for the most part his own teacher.
		Leibnitz, not yet twenty-one years of age, was already the author of several remarkable essays.
		Nuremberg was a centre of the Rosicrucians, and Leibnitz, busying himself with writings of the alchemists, soon gained such a knowledge of their tenets that he was supposed to be one of the secret brotherhood, and was even elected their secretary.

		Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (or Leibniz) was born at Leipzig on June 21 (O.S.), 1646, and died in Hanover on November 14, 1716.
		Leibnitz occupies at least as large a place in the history of philosophy as he does in the history of mathematics.
		Leibnitz (like Newton) recognised the importance of James Gregory's remarks on the necessity of examining whether infinite series are convergent or divergent, and proposed a test to distinguish series whose terms are alternately positive and negative.

	CliffsNotes::Candide:Book Summary and Study Guide
		No attempt here is made to present in detail an account of the philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646-1716), which Voltaire called "optimism," the term he used as the subtitle to Candide, but only to call attention to the points relevant to an understanding of the philosophical tale.
		Thus in the letter to Koenig, the German mathematician, dated November 1752, he expressed admiration for the philosopher's manner of thinking and his tendency to scatter the "seeds of ideas." And in the Siècle de Louis XIV (1756), he wrote approvingly of the man. But fundamentally Voltaire was suspicious of all attempts at systematic philosophy.
		Leibnitz held that nature moves in an orderly way; that its laws are immutable; that any deviation would upset the universe.

		Leibnitz is known as an extellent mathematician and scholar of most various ac- tainments, and Fichte is cherished in the memQry of Germany as a man of rare honesty and an.
		Leibnitz solved the problem by showing that finite and infinite are merely terms reciprocally determining each other; that the infinite is therefore as much determined as the finite, and the finite as much undetermined as the infinite.
		Leibnitz proposed to make this a work such as should not have its like in all literature, and it in fact became the great work of his life, although, strange to say, it has never been printed, and is still, with many other unpub- lished manuscripts of his, rotting in the Hanoverian Library.

		The fact that his claim was unchallenged for some years is, in the particular circumstances of the case, immaterial.
		That Leibnitz saw some of Newton's manuscripts was always intrinsically probable; but when, in 1849, C. Gerhardt examined Leibnitz's papers he found among them a manuscript copy, the existence of which had been previously unsuspected, in Leibnitz's handwriting, of extracts from Newton's
		Leibnitz shortly before his death admitted in a letter to Conti that in 1676 Collins had shewn him some Newtonian papers, but implied that they were of little or no value, - presumably he referred to Newton's letters of June 13 and Oct.

		Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz is generally considered to have been the first symbolic logician.
		In the 17th century, as part of his plan to reform scientific reasoning, Leibnitz advocated the use of ideographic symbols in place of natural language.
		But it was left to George Boole, in the mid 19th century, to lay out what would thereafter become the three pillars of the field of symbolic logic.

	The Roots of Consciousness: History, The Age of Enlightenment
		Carrying on the Pythagorean-Platonic doctrine of universal harmony, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz, who with Isaac Newton was the co-inventor of calculus, developed an elegant grand philosophy based on the concept of an evolving unit of consciousness called the monad.
		Monads for Leibnitz are the most fundamental metaphysical points which have always existed and can never be destroyed.
		Leibnitz felt that all matter is alive and animated throughout with monads.

		In both cases, history seemed to have proved the impossibility of philosophy's "demand that truth and goodness coincide." But after Lisbon, at least, philosophers continued to attempt to reconcile the blunt suffering of the victims of natural disaster with the idea of a just world designed by a merciful God.
		Enter Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646-1716), the German philosopher and mathematician best known for his belief that ours is the "best of all possible worlds." Voltaire famously ridiculed this sunny view in "Candide," his savage meditation on the futility and fragility of the attempt to find any source of goodness.
		But, Neiman argues, Leibnitz was not as optimistic as we think; it would be more accurate to state that, upon reflection, he concluded that it wasn't that this world was perfect but that other worlds held the possibility of being far more evil than what we already knew.
