Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
The 17th-century thinker Gottfried Leibniz made contributions to a variety of subjects, including theology, history, and physics, although he is best remembered as a mathematician and philosopher. According to Leibniz, the world is composed of monads—tiny units, each of which mirrors and perceives the other monads in the universe.
