| kellychaos | I see calculus as a natural progression in mathematics. Somebody at some time would have developed it. They were nibbling at it for years waiting for someone to put it all together ... with logical, verifiable mathematical proofs, of course. | |

oh... It's just one of those things that really pisses me off so I'm ready to jump on it any chance I get. and I don't really get too many chances. |

| Helm | Yes, and that could very well be that his arguments are well formed, and should be inspected for the enjoyment of just that, but currently I'm more interested in arguments that are both validly formed, and also relate to reality in a more tangible way. This means I do not bother with ontology a lot. | |

| Sethomas | Well, yes, that was a huge reason for why I disagree with Leibniz on his ultimate conclusions. His methodology and line or reasoning, however, is very worthwhile nevertheless. | |

| kahljorn | YES. | |

| Helm | yeah well D. Design, meet O. Razor. | |

| Sethomas | Well, Leibniz wasn't satisfied with Cartesian dualism, so he decided that the soul and consciousness were totally separate and only incidentally agreed with each other due to divine design. | |

| Helm | not that I can be sure, but the concept of a dualistic soul sounds really dodgy to me, so I guess anyone who builds on that doesn't really do anything for me | |

| ziggytrix | no, not really. | |

| ScruU2wice | He didn't invent calculus. A panel of judges which included newton proved that.. | |

Leibniz's Monadology I'm a ways into this right now, and I absolutely love his work. My own theory is very very similar to his, so it just makes me curious as to why he's been overlooked so much. The central problem in his thinking is that he posits the soul as having only passive abilities of perception, and thus he has to make such contortions of logic as "the evil of Judas is more than balanced by the good of the world". Well, I agree with that, but Judas remains SOL for being predetermined to betray Christ with no real culpability attached to his own soul. Anyone else have thoughts on Leibniz? |
