Life Leibniz was born in Leipzig on July 1, 1646, two years prior to the end of the Thirty Years War, which had ravaged central Europe. His family was Lutheran and belonged to the educated elite on both sides: his father, Friedrich Leibniz, was a jurist and professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Leipzig, and his mother, Catharina Schmuck, the daughter of a professor of Law. Leibniz's father died in 1652, and his subsequent education was directed by his mother, uncle, and according to his own reports, himself. He was given access to his father's extensive library at a young age and proceeded to pore over its contents, particularly the volumes of ancient history and the Church Fathers.

Internet Sources The last of the great Continental Rationalists was Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz . Known in his own time as a legal advisor to the Court of Hanover and as a practicing mathematician who co-invented the calculus, Leibniz applied the rigorous standards of formal reasoning in an effort to comprehend everything. A suitably sophisticated logical scheme, he believed, can serve as a reliable guide to the ultimate structure of reality. But Leibniz published little of his philosophical work during his own lifetime. For an understanding of the technical logical foundations of his system, we must rely upon letters and notebooks which became available only centuries later and upon the aphoristic summary of its results in La Monadologie Monadology ) (1714). His Discours de Metaphysique Discourse on Metaphysics ) (1686) and Theodicy ) (1710) present to the general public more popular expositions of Leibniz's central themes. Our strategy will be to begin with the logical theories and work outward to the more accessible doctrines.

24. Leibniz And Russia Essay about Leibniz, his love to Russia and his correspondence with Peter the Great. http://www.helsinki.fi/~mroinila/russia.htm

LEIBNIZ AND THE GREAT MISSION : RUSSIA Markku Roinila Approximately twenty years later Leibniz took a renewed interest in Russia. This was partly due to the interest in China (the relations between Russia and China were improved after agreement of Ner_insk in 1689 ), partly due to the interest in the different languages, dialects and cultures in Russia and the unknown Siberia. By this time Leibniz was an active participant in the study of languages. The most important reason, however, according to many commentators, notably Benz, was Russian's new Czar, Peter the Great. Peter had been travelling around Europe "incognito" and aroused interest seldom been laid upon a Russian prince. However, still in 1698 Leibniz wrote to Thomas Burnett : "...yet I am a little in the sentiment of the Czar of Muscovy, who, I have been told, admired certain ingenious machines more than all of the pictures which he was shown in the royal palace." In the light of this letter, one could suspect that the influence Benz devotes to Peter the Great is somewhat exaggerated. His continuing interest in China and also the intense study of Eastern languages could be seen as equal factors in Leibniz's awaken attraction to Russia. Leibniz entered into correspondence with some experts on Russia including Croze, Royal librarian of Prussia, Ludolph, orientalist, Cuneau, chancellor of Frederick I, Witsen, the mayor of Amsterdam, Sparvenfeld, philologist and Huyssen, Czar's legal counsellor.

The Variety of Problems of Evil in Leibniz 2. The Underachiever Problem 3. The Holiness Problem Bibliography ... Related Entries 1. The Variety of Problems of Evil in Leibniz Without question, the problem of evil vexed Leibniz as much as any philosophical problem during his career. This is obvious from the fact that the first and the last book length works that he authored, the Philosopher's Confession (written at age 26 in 1672) and the Theodicy (written in 1709, seven years before his death) were both devoted to this problem. It is, as well, equally striking that this latter work was the only book length treatise Leibniz saw fit to publish during his life. Before we take a closer look at Leibniz's views on the problem of evil, we will need to do some stage-setting to help us understand just what sort of problem Leibniz thought evil presented. Open any contemporary introductory textbook and philosophy and it becomes clear that the problem of evil in contemporary philosophy is thought of as an argument for atheism. Since, the atheist contends, God and evil are incompatible, and evil clearly exists, there is no God. Some, thinking that the claimed incompatibility in the above argument is too strong, argue that even if the existence of God and the existence of evil prove compatible, the existence (or duration, or amount, or distribution) of evil provides us with at least strong evidence that God does not exist.

Although Gottfried Leibniz left behind no philosophical magnum opus, he is still considered to be among the giant thinkers of the 17th-century. Leibniz believed in "pre-established harmony" between the outer world and maind, and developed a philosophy of Rationalism by which he attempted to reconcile the existence of matter with the existence of God. Bertrand Russel wrote that Leibniz's intellect "was highly abstract and logical; his greatest claim to fame is as an inventor of the infinitesimal calculus." (from The Monadology Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was born in Leipzig, the son of a professor of moral philosophy, and Catharina Schmuck, the daughter of a famous lawyer. When Leibniz was only six years old, his father died and he grew up in the care his mother. At school Leibniz was a brilliant student who taught himself Latin by reading an illustrated edition of Livy. Leibniz received his masters degree from the University of Leipzig at the age of 18, but his academic career was cut short when the university turned down his application for doctoral degree. After receiving his doctorate in law at Altdorf in 1667, Leibniz entered into the service Baron Johann Christian von Boineburg. Never looking back at Leipzig, he moved to Frankfurt, where he threw himself into the world of politics.

36. Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz Biography with short comments to his work. http://www.stetson.edu/~efriedma/periodictable/html/Li.html

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz Gottfried Leibniz's father died when Leibniz was only 6, and he was brought up by his mother, from whom he learned his moral and religious values. In school, he taught himself advanced Latin and Greek, and read Aristotle and many metaphysics and theology books. At the age of 14, he entered the University of Leipzig to study philosophy and mathematics. A few days after Leibniz was awarded his Master's Degree in philosophy, his mother died. After being awarded a bachelor's degree in law, Leibniz worked on his habilitation in philosophy. In this work, published in 1666, Leibniz aimed to reduce all reasoning and discovery to a combination of basic elements such as numbers, letters, sounds and colours. Despite his growing reputation and acknowledged scholarship, Leibniz was refused the doctorate in law at Leipzig. He went immediately to the University of Altdorf where he received a doctorate in law in 1667. During the next few years Leibniz undertook a variety of different projects, scientific, literary and political. He also continued his law career taking up residence at the courts of Mainz before 1670. One of Leibniz's lifelong aims was to collate all human knowledge. As part of this scheme, Leibniz tried to bring the work of the learned societies together to coordinate research. Leibniz put much energy into promoting scientific societies. Later in life, he was involved in moves to set up academies in Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, and St. Petersburg.

Inicio Buscador Las figuras clave de la historia Reportajes Los protagonistas de la actualidad Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (Leipzig, actual Alemania, 1646-Hannover, id., 1716) Filósofo y matemático alemán. Su padre, profesor de filosofía moral en la Universidad de Leipzig, falleció cuando Leibniz contaba seis años. Capaz de escribir poemas en latín a los ocho años, a los doce empezó a interesarse por la lógica aristotélica a través del estudio de la filosofía escolástica. En 1661 ingresó en la universidad de su ciudad natal para estudiar leyes, y dos años después se trasladó a la Universidad de Jena, donde estudió matemáticas con E. Weigel. En 1666, la Universidad de Leipzig rechazó, a causa de su juventud, concederle el título de doctor, que Leibniz obtuvo sin embargo en Altdorf; tras rechazar el ofrecimiento que allí se le hizo de una cátedra, en 1667 entró al servicio del arzobispo elector de Maguncia como diplomático, y en los años siguientes desplegó una intensa actividad en los círculos cortesanos y eclesiásticos. Leibniz En 1672 fue enviado a París con la misión de disuadir a Luis XIV de su propósito de invadir Alemania; aunque fracasó en la embajada, Leibniz permaneció cinco años en París, donde desarrolló una fecunda labor intelectual. De esta época datan su invención de una máquina de calcular capaz de realizar las operaciones de multiplicación, división y extracción de raíces cuadradas, así como la elaboración de las bases del cálculo infinitesimal.
