Leibniz: The Last Universal Genius

A deep-dive into the 17th‑century polymath whose work spanned calculus, philosophy, computing, and diplomacy. We explore how Leibniz earned the title of 'the last universal genius,' from monads and space-time relational ideas to the dream of a universal language and early calculating machines. Along the way, we examine his grand ambitions, the calculus controversy, practical inventions, and the enduring question of how one mind tried to unify all knowledge.
