Leibniz's Philosophy

Leibniz's philosophy revolves around the idea of possible worlds, which are hypothetical scenarios that illustrate how things could be different. He believed that our actual world is just one of many possible versions of reality, each created by God’s choices. Leibniz proposed that everything in the universe is interconnected through "monads," which are individual, unique entities that reflect the entire universe from their own perspective. His famous principle, "the best of all possible worlds," suggests that the actual world is the most harmonious and rational choice among all possibilities, despite the presence of suffering and evil.
