Synopsis

The Monadology connects the entirety of the universe to give context and bearings to research in the science disciplines, and to establish the direction and purpose of humankind for policymaking, law, government and economics. Monadology provides a basis for thinking about physics and the underlying design of the universe – which is the domain of metaphysics. There’s a two-way street between physics and metaphysics on the one hand and philosophy on the other. Physics relies on metaphysics to provide a roadmap and assumptions for physics research, while metaphysics refers to physics to check whether metaphysical theory needs to be tweaked to align with physics. Core to Monadology is the connectedness of all things in the universe. This drives an appetite for maximising human power to facilitate connectedness across vast distances, effect change in the universe and undertake space exploration, and shows how natural it is that humans should colonise the solar system beyond earth, and further beyond. This is not possible without seeking to maximize the quality of life of every single human being on earth. Conversely, an outward-focussed policy orientation helps improve the quality of life of humankind. With a grasp of Monadology, current and aspiring legislators, policymakers and juristic professionals will make a greater contribution.

About this title

About the Author:

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz conceived the idea of the modern nation state, the Western conception of progress, and the concept of human power. Leibniz was a jurist, diplomat and peacemaker, and was critical in the discovery of steam power and generalizing the steam power to more intensive forms of power. Citizens, policymakers, jurists and lawmakers need a refresh and Leibniz gives us the direction and framework we need to refresh policymaking principles and substance at the national and international levels.
