Gottfried Leibniz is one of the greatest SOCRATICS bascuee he challanges everyday "common sense" notions of causality and of life.   Significantly, Kant teaches us in the Introduction to his "Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics" that "common sense" is a meaningless answer to the puzzling arguments of David Hume.  Rather, one must approach such puzzles in terms of "justified true belief theory."  The perspectives and conclusions of Leibniz constantly challenges the taken-for-granted justified true beliefs which prevent one from thinking creatively.   Leibniz and Schopenhauer have the most unique metaphysical systems, in my opinion.   According to David Dilworth in "Philosophy in World Perspective" (1989), [The four-by-four matrix composed by Dilworth has four hermeneutical variables in the horizontal plane.  They correspond to Aristotle's Four Causes. In the vertical plane are the four "core" ancient Greek philosophical "profiles": the school of Aristotle, Plato, Democritus, and the Sophists.]  Schopenhauer has the most unique concatenation of four hermeneutical variables in the history of philosophy.  Dilworth describes Leibniz as an "atomistic Platonist," or a "Platonic Democritean."  Leibniz somehow finds the elusive "middle terms" (sensus de communis) between these contradictory philosophical approaches! He thereby Socratically leads such everyday folk as myself to search for the wonders found in [...]  Was this answer helpful?

Background[edit]

After the destruction of the old Ruelbach Fleet, 'Old Al' scraped together all that he could in the following decades to start over. A repurposed warship, the Gilded Piety was fitted out for fast, secret trade. Her spirit still longs for a fight, however. At times during the void run, her cogitators 'practice' calculating firing solutions on the passing detritus of the void.
