Home Page Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (b. 1646, d. 1716) was a German philosopher, mathematician, and logician who is probably most well known for having invented the differential and integral calculus (independently of Sir Isaac Newton). In his correspondence with the leading intellectual and political figures of his era, he discussed mathematics, logic, science, history, law, and theology.

He then settled in Hanover, where he devoted most of his adult life to the development of a comprehensive scheme for human knowledge, comprising logic, mathematics, philosophy, theology, history, and jurisprudence. Although his own rationalism was founded upon an advanced understanding of logic , which Leibniz largely kept to himself, he did publish many less technical expositions of his results for the general public. These include a survey of the entire scheme in The New System of Nature (1695), a critical examination of Locke 's philosophy in Nouveaux Essaies sur l'entendement humain New Essays on Human Understanding ) (1704), and an attempt to resolve several theological issues in the

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) Leibniz was one of the great philosophers of the age of Rationalism and the last major philosopher who was also a first rate, indeed a great, mathematician. His system, especially as developed by Christian Wolff (1679-1754), established the basic form of metaphysics in German universities, providing the philosophical starting point for Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). Leibniz's metaphysics is most profitably contrasted with that of his near contemporary Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677), since the two of them come down on exactly opposite sides of many important issues (giving us something like a step in Hegelian dialectic). Leibniz's system is also to be compared with the natural science of Isaac Newton (1642-1727), who became Leibniz's bitter enemy, not just in metaphysics, but in the argument over who had priority for the development of calculus. Leibniz, indeed, may have been the better mathematician, but he did not have Newton's success in applying mathematics to physical problems. Leibniz made his living mostly in the employ of German Princes, as a diplomat and even as a librarian, ending his days at the court of

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646 - 1716) Drôle de pensée The Monadology Leibniz was a first-class mathematician and scientist. His contribution in mathematics was to discover, in 1675, the fundamental principles of infinitesimal calculus. This discovery was arrived at independently of the discoveries of the English scientist Sir Isaac Newton, whose system of calculus was invented in 1666. Leibniz's system was published in 1684, Newton's in 1687, and the method of notation devised by Leibniz was universally adopted. In 1672 he also invented a calculating machine capable of multiplying, dividing, and extracting square roots. Leibniz was also an excellent philosopher whose metaphysical system is peculiarly interesting in that it can be interpreted as a system of logical doctrines. His positions were drawn from science, logic, and metaphysics, and he believed that his "new principle, pre-established harmony," was proved in all these disciplines, as well as in religious and moral theory. Leibniz was dissatisfied with the "new philosophy" since Descartes and with the concepts of absolute space, time and matter of Newtonian mechanics. He showed that Descartes' formulation of the laws of motion was scientifically unsound, and that his view of motion as miraculously imparted to essentially inert matter was metaphysically unsatisfactory. He described "atoms of matter" as contrary to reason, since the "smallest particle of matter," as atoms are described, is logically absurd. If it is extended, then it is further divisible; if not then it is not a particle of matter. The laws of motion he thought demanded that the elements involved should be bearers of energy. The only possible element must be a "simple substance, without parts." In his

Friedrich Leibniz [3]:- ...was evidently a competent though not original scholar, who devoted his time to his offices and to his family as a pious, Christian father. Leibniz's mother was Catharina Schmuck, the daughter of a lawyer and Friedrich Leibniz's third wife. However, Friedrich Leibniz died when Leibniz was only six years old and he was brought up by his mother. Certainly Leibniz learnt his moral and religious values from her which would play an important role in his life and philosophy. At the age of seven, Leibniz entered the Nicolai School in Leipzig. Although he was taught Latin at school, Leibniz had taught himself far more advanced Latin and some Greek by the age of 12. He seems to have been motivated by wanting to read his father's books. As he progressed through school he was taught Aristotle 's logic and theory of categorising knowledge. Leibniz was clearly not satisfied with

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.

Gottfried Wilhelm, Baron von Leibniz German Philosopher and Mathematician Leibniz' career as a scholar embraced the physical sciences, law, history, diplomacy, and logic, and he held diplomatic posts (from 1666) under various German princes. Leibniz also invented the Calculus shortly before Netwon but his work was published after. His philosophical writings, including Theodicy (1710) and Monadology (1714), popularized by the philosopher Christian von Wolff, were orthodox and optimistic, claiming that a divine plan made this the best of all possible worlds. According to Leibniz, the basic constituents of the universe are simple substances he called monads, infinite in number, nonmaterial, and hierarchically arranged. His major work, New Essays on Human Understanding, a treatise on John Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding, was written in 1704 but because of Locke's death published only in 1765. A critique of Locke's theory that the mind is a blank at birth, it exerted great influence on Kant and the German enlightenment. Modern studies have tended to focus on Leibniz's contributions to mathematics and logic; manuscripts published in the 20th cent. show him to be the founder of symbolic logic.

Home "For it is unworthy of excellent men to lose hours like slaves in the labour of calculation which could safely be relegated to anyone else if machines were used." Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 - 1716) Gottfried Leibniz laid the modern foundation of the movement from decimal to binary as far back as 1666 (the same year as the Great Fire of London) with his "On the Art of Combination", laying out a method for reducing all logic to exact statements. Leibniz believed logic, or ‘the laws of thought’ could be moved from a verbal state - which was subject to the ambiguities of language, tone and circumstance - into an absolute mathematical condition. "A sort of universal language or script, but infinitely different from all those projected hitherto, for the symbols and even words in it would direct the reason, and errors, except for those of fact, would be mere mistakes in calculation. It would be very difficult to form or invent this language or characteristic, but very easy to understand it without any dictionaries." The concept was probably a bit high-flown for his time, and Leibniz' idea was ignored by the scientific community of his day. He let his proposition drop - until about ten years later when the Chinese "Book of Changes", or "I Ching", came his way.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz born: July 1, 1646 at Leipzig died: November 14, 1716 at Hanover If Leibniz was not as penetrating a mathematician as Newton, he was perhaps a broader one, and while inferior to his English rival as an analyst and mathematical physicist, he probably had a keener mathematical imagination and a superior instinct for mathematical form. (Howard Eves) Co-inventor of calculus. Introduced the dy/dx and notations. Invented combinatorial analysis and made important initial contributions to symbolic logic. Lawyer. Diplomat. During his diplomatic duties in Paris in 1672, Leibniz met Christian Huygens, a physicist who knew a lot of mathematics, and Huygens agreed to teach Leibniz some of the 'newer' mathematics. By 1676, Leibniz had discovered many of the formulas of calculus as well as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, 11 years after Newton's unpublished discovery. He introduced and used much of the notation commonly encountered in elementary calculus including the ratio dy/dx to denote a derivative and the familiar (at least to calculus students) (an elongated "S" for the Latin word summa or sum), to denote an integral. He devoted most of the rest of his life to diplomacy and work as the librarian for the Duke of Hanover, but he did find time to start one journal and to found the Berlin Academy of Science.
