…understanding as primarily a mathematical function, who was both a platonist and a mathematician. The word apperception, I think, comes from Leibniz during his period when he was writing in French, and so we have to think of him also proposing monads as…

…but all he knew of history was present. So you know he was walking with Elijah, his own I was. This is like the Leibniz Ian question about the monads: every monad had a unique soul but the monads each had their distinct perspective in the way that the…

…have? We had the cube, the perfect circle, the dodecahedron, so forth and so on. And then through the genius of Newton and Leibniz in that crowd, the infinite set of ellipses that we could extract from the section cone that allowed us to do calculus,…

…the other hand, the birth of modern science is entirely linked to the establishment of the universal postal union, because suddenly Leibniz could send letters to Newton and all these people could communicate with each other. On a scale of weeks instead of…

…know, a chinese oracle of great antiquity. And one of the things that has struck various people who've become involved with it, Leibniz, Benjamin Franklin, Carl Jung, that it seems to work like psychedelics. It seems to be a general, an exception to the…

…the interesting thing about the king Wen sequence is that it is not in a logical sequence. On the face of it, when Leibniz, the european philosopher, got his hands on the I Ching, his jesuit friends shipped him a copy in the 17th century, he immediately…

…he immediately organized it as a binary number system and rearranged the hexagram and showed that it was a binary number system. And Leibniz is a sequence. Any hacker knows instantly how to do it. From the first hexagram on, King Wen's sequence is not at…

…people like John Locke and Hume and Thomas Hobbes and began to work out the social implications of all this. While Newton and Leibniz and other people on the continent by the NazI and so forth, worked out the implications of the law, part of it, and…

…you can do. And science has a faustian dynamic. It dreams of a kind of ultimate resolution. They're even talking in here about, Leibniz said, in the least of substances, eyes as piercing as those of God could read the whole course of the universe. That's…

…moral judgment or my moral understanding is wrong. The world as revealed by quantum physics, as revealed by electronic experience, is what Leibniz called a plenum. It's all one thing, it's all connected. It's all of a part. So then I also wanted to point…

…leaps of new species and stuff like that. And there is, of course, in historiography a continuity theory that goes back to Leibniz, if not before. We are under the influence in our so called modern age of a continuous theory of history. Whereas before…

…if not before. We are under the influence in our so called modern age of a continuous theory of history. Whereas before Leibniz, a couple hundred years ago, there was more of a feeling of quantum leaps in evolution. As far as world cultural history…
