This is true of Leibniz ' dynamics, his symbolic logic, his primitive "calculating engine his notation for the calculus, and much else besides.

The effort of that which is is to remain that which it is: nature, just like any living being, endeavors to maintain itself in a state of equilibrium. Imbalances in the organism, possible failures of light generated by the cessation in application of the network of natural laws, must be regarded as privations dictated by the limits of logic, and nothing more.

We have seen that what the angel would tell us is that we are to study the behaviour of bodies through controlled experiments di rected toward obtai ni ng knowledge of necessary causes. To adopt this methodology is to achieve more perfect orientation or perspective with respect to bodies. The genera1 methodo logy of the ange 1sis re 1ated to the fo 11 owi ng views of Leibniz: 1.
