Leibnizian Philosophy

Leibnizian philosophy is centered around the ideas of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who emphasized the importance of rational thought, individual perception, and a harmonious universe. He proposed that everything is made up of simple substances called "monads," which are like individual points of perception reflecting the entire universe from their unique perspectives. Leibniz believed in a pre-established harmony, where everything is coordinated by God, ensuring that the universe operates in a coherent and purposeful way. His ideas laid the groundwork for modern thought in metaphysics, mathematics, and even the nature of reality.
