Das verkannte Genie, das Newton besiegte | Leibniz Dokumentarfilm

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz is one of the most universal minds in European intellectual history. Mathematician, philosopher, jurist, diplomat, engineer, historian, and librarian—hardly any area of ​​human knowledge remained untouched by his restless thinking. He invented calculus, developed the binary number system, designed the first mechanical calculating machine capable of multiplication, and, with his symbolic logic, laid the theoretical foundations for modern computer science and artificial intelligence. His philosophy of monads, his theodicy, and his concept of predestined harmony are among the boldest and most influential intellectual constructs of the modern era. In this comprehensive biographical account, Alexander Weiss traces the life and work of this extraordinary thinker—from his childhood in the devastated postwar city of Leipzig, through his intellectual awakening in Paris, his failed engineering projects in the Harz Mountains, and his diplomatic missions to European courts, to his encounters with Peter the Great and his solitary final years in Hanover. The narrative combines historical accuracy with vivid storytelling and is aimed at anyone interested in philosophy, the history of science, and the great figures of the European Enlightenment.
