Summary

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) was a German mathematician, philosopher, scientist and diplomat who invented calculus in addition to many other branches of mathematics and statistics. He has been called the "last universal genius" due to his knowledge and skills in different fields and because such people became less common during the Industrial Revolution and spread of specialized labor after his lifetime.As a philosopher, Leibniz was a leading representative of 17th-century rationalism and idealism. Leibniz's philosophical thinking appears fragmented because his philosophical writings consist mainly of a multitude of short pieces: journal articles, manuscripts published long after his death, and letters to correspondents.Leibniz dated his beginning as a philosopher to his Discourse on Metaphysics, which he composed in 1686 as a commentary on a running dispute between Nicolas Malebranche and Antoine Arnauld. We propose it to our readers today in the English translation by George Redington Montgomery (1909).

    Family caregivers struggle with keeping their heads above water while caring for an impaired loved one. Most caregivers feel their well-being is sacrificed for the well-being of their loved ones. Hanging on until their loved one passes away is simply not acceptable for a caregiver to live a healthy life. Caregivers can live a life of meaning—and not just simply survive. A Minute for Caregivers offers families with special needs children, aging parents, wounded warriors, trauma victims, mental illness, addiction, and any other chronic impairment "just in time" practical, emotional, and spiritual help in dealing with the (often) traumatic challenges of caring for an impaired loved one.

    “The more time you spend around me, the deeper you’ll sink. I know you can already feel it. You’re becoming loyal.” 
    I was at the gym when it first happened. Ty started flexing his muscles, and it was like my brain completely switched off. 
    He made me feel his biceps. He made me smell his body. I started to feel so weak… 
    Now, I’m bound atop his bed. His sapphire-blue eyes glitter as he places his powerful hands on my tiny frame. I spent all day doing his homework for him, and this is my reward for being an obedient boy. 
    “It’s time for your first milking session. You’ll like it—I promise.” 
    My eyes glaze over as he speaks. 
    I’m ready.

    In the intricate tapestry of our modern world, where the digital and the human are woven ever more tightly, a profound new framework has emerged to illuminate the nexus of our existence. This is the realm of the Antheoze Theory, a radical departure from traditional thought that dares to place the subjective, the embodied, and the spiritual at the very heart of our understanding. It is a theory born not from the cold, objective analysis of data, but from a deep, empathetic engagement with lived experience. As we stand at the precipice of an increasingly complex technological landscape, the Antheoze Theory offers a vital compass, guiding us to look inward and to consider the ethical and existential implications of our digital lives. It challenges us to move beyond the superficial and to explore the hidden depths of our relationship with technology, and in doing so, to redefine what it means to be human in the digital age. This is not merely an academic exercise; it is a call to consciousness, a plea for a more humane and meaningful future.
