Beschreibung
The German polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz has been called the “last universal genius” due to his vast expertise across numerous fields. A prominent figure in both the history of philosophy and the world of mathematics, Leibniz produced groundbreaking works on theology, ethics, politics, law, history, physics, music and other studies. As a philosopher, he was a leading representative of seventeenth century rationalism and idealism, being especially noted for his optimism and his famous conclusion that our world is “the best possible world that God could have created”. As a mathematician, he developed the main ideas of calculus and devised the binary number system that is the basis of modern digital computing and communications.
