ARTICLES RELATED TO Gottfried Leibniz - Symbolic thought |  |  |  | Gottfried Leibniz - Symbolic thought: Encyclopedia - Gottfried LeibnizGottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (also Leibnitz) (July 1 (June 21 Old Style) 1646, Leipzig – November 14, 1716, Hanover) was a German polymath, deemed a genius in his lifetime and since, and the last true polyhistor. Trained as a lawyer and active as a diplomat and librarian, he wrote on philosophy, science, mathematics, theology, history, and comparative philology, even writing verse. Through his service to two major German noble houses, he played a major role in the European ...

 |  |  | Gottfried Leibniz - Symbolic thought: Encyclopedia II - Gottfried Leibniz - MathematicianAlthough the mathematical notion of function was implicit in trigonometric and logarithmic tables, which existed in his day, Leibniz was the first, in 1692 and 1694, to employ it explicitly, to denote any of several geometric concepts derived from a curve, such as abscissa, ordinate, tangent, chord, and the perpendicular (Struik 1969: 367). Only later did "function" lose these geometrical associations.

 |  |  | Gottfried Leibniz - Symbolic thought: Encyclopedia II - Gottfried Leibniz - LifeThe only biography in English is Aiton (1986). A lively short account of Leibniz’s life, one also doing fair justice to the breadth of his interests and activities, is Mates (1986: 14-35), who cites the German biographies extensively. Also see MacDonald Ross (1984: chpt. 1), the chapter by Ariew in Jolley (1995), and Jolley (2005: chpt. 1). For a biographical glossary of Leibniz's intellectual contemporaries, see AG 350.

 |  |  | Gottfried Leibniz - Symbolic thought: Encyclopedia II - Gottfried Leibniz - PhilosopherIt is very difficult to grasp Leibniz's philosophical thinking, because his philosophical writings consist mainly of a multitude of short pieces: journal articles, manuscripts published long after his death, and many letters to many correspondents. He only wrote two philosophical treatises, and the only one he published in his lifetime, the Théodicée of 1710, is as much theological as philosophical. Leibniz dated his beginning as a philosopher to his Discourse on Metaphysics, which he composed in 1686 as a commentary on a run ...

 |  |  | Gottfried Leibniz - Symbolic thought: Encyclopedia II - Gottfried Leibniz - Universal GeniusThe following episode from the life of Leibniz illustrates the breadth of his genius, and the difficulties awaiting those who try to come to terms with it. While making his grand tour of European archives to research the Brunswick family history he never completed, Leibniz stopped in Wien, May 1688 – February 1689, where he did much legal and diplomatic work for the Brunswicks. He visited mines, talked with mine engineers, and tried to negotiate export contracts for lead from the ducal mines in the Harz mountains. His proposal that the str ...

 |  |  | Gottfried Leibniz - Symbolic thought: Encyclopedia II - Gottfried Leibniz - SinophileLeibniz was perhaps the first major European intellect to take a close interest in Chinese civilization, which he knew by corresponding with, and reading other work by, European Christian missionaries posted in China. He concluded that Europeans could learn much from the Confucian ethical tradition. He mulled over the possibility that the Chinese characters were an unwitting form of his universal characteristic. He noted with fascination how the I Ching hexagrams correspond to the binary numbers from 0 to 111111, and mistakenly concluded that this mapping was evidence of major Chinese accomplishments in th ...

 |  |  | Gottfried Leibniz - Symbolic thought: Encyclopedia II - Gottfried Leibniz - Science and technologyLeibniz's writingss are currently discussed seriously in a number of fields at the forefront of science, not only as anticipations and possible discoveries not yet recognized, but as ways of advancing present knowledge. Until the discovery of subatomic particles and the quantum mechanics governing them, many of Leibniz's speculative ideas made no sense. Leibniz devised a new theory of motion (dynamics) based on kinetic and potential energy. He anticipated Einstein by arguing, against Newton, that space, time and motion are relative, not abso ...
