my mind is stretching shrinking squashing this is awesome
-
these two philosophers leibniz and spinoza are the main influences of process philosophy of whitehead and hartshorne on God and the World
-
interesting that these ideas are reflected in the philosophical boundaries of theoretical physics. a discrete universe is at odds with the non locality demonstrated by quantum mechanics.
-
thanks to whom posted these videos of Bryan Magee they are really good, and wish happy and long life to Bryan.

who taught you that? go back to school...

I agree. Leibniz's idea of a 'discrete' universe is very, very close to the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics. A philosopher hundreds of years ahead of his time.
-
Spinoza's idea of God seems somewhat similar to Thomas Aquinas.
-
don't project fundamentalism onto leibniz
Thanks for uploading this. I've been studying Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz for a philosophy test, and sometimes the text can drive me insane. It's nice to hear other people talk about the subject matter in ways that I can (mostly) understand.
