Quote: "Leibniz kept himself informed of all the latest discoveries...."


Question: After reading this article, I learned that Leibniz was very intrigued and kept himself motivated. I question how he could be so interested and self motivated, especially when studying such complex subjects. 


Comment: Going along with my comment, I often find myself in that situation, so I think that keeping myself informed of new things I learn, especially with notes will help me be self motivated like Leibniz was!

Question: My question is what he meant by "I prefer a Leeuwenhoek." However, I looked up the name and saw it was a scientist versus the "Cartesian" represented as a philosopher.

Comments: I found this piece really interesting because I was surprised that he looked further into subjects such as chemistry, physics, geology, botany, zoology, anatomy, history and geography, and combined those ideas to further indulge his knowledge for writing.
