Listen: Leibniz, an unattainable figure

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz – the most learned man of the 17th century, russell called "a wise man of the ages", an authentic German.

Leibniz is a multi-talented person, in addition to mathematics, logic, physics, linguistics, his extensive talent also affected geology, botany, law, history, theology and other fields, and even had a profound study of the history and religion of ancient China, it can be said that he was the first Western thinker who was really interested in Chinese culture.

Perhaps because Leibniz was left in the head by metaphysics, and at the same time devoted much of his time and energy to worldly matters such as currying favor with the powerful, he remained unmarried all his life, just as the ancient sages he admired—Thales, Herculette, Plato, Hayam, his contemporaries or intellectual opponents—Descartes, Pascal, Spinoza, Newton—and his later generations—Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche.

Leibniz is a figure of any nation, past, present and future, unattainable.
