		In symbolic logic Leibniz enunciated the principal properties of what we now call logical multiplication, addition, negation, identity, class-inclusion, and the null-class; but the aim of Leibniz's researches was, as he said, to create "a kind of general system of notation in which all the truths of reason should be reduced to a calculus.
		This could be, at the same time, a kind of universal written language, very different from all those which have been projected hitherto; for the characters and even the words would direct the reason, and the errors -- excepting those of fact -- would only be errors of calculation.

	Gottfried Willhelm Leibniz - German Philosopher - Biography
		His penchant for teaching himself from his father's library led to studies in theology and metaphysics, embellishing his formal schooling in the logical systems of Aristotle that he was interested in improving.
		By October 1663 Leibniz was awarded his Master's Degree in philosophy for a dissertation that combined aspects of philosophy and law, studying relations in these subjects with mathematical ideas that he had learnt from Weigel.
		He sought to invent a universal language based not on geometry but on calculus perfected down to the level of logic that would provide a common mathematical, philosophical, logical and scientific foundation for all thought; in Leibniz's ideal system all such disputes could be resolved reasonably by systems of rigorous calculations.
