The "liberation" of thought. On the 17th-century idea of ​​infinity, philosophers' approaches to infinity, Descartes's view of man as the center of the universe (cogito and the method of doubt). The concept of the Encyclopedia and its approaches. Leibniz's critique of cogito and subjectivity. The discovery of the microscope and microinfinity (the idea of ​​infinite composition and its reflections on Baroque aesthetics). Leibniz's idea of ​​the city as chance encounters (chance encounters in still life and landscape painting). Comments on the concept of "bad infinity" in Hegel. Renaissance perspective (the homogenizing eye). Leibniz and the profound meaning of relativity. The second break from perspective (impressionists, settling on a point of view). The path from the impressionists to the cubists: collage. Leibniz's "possible worlds," the principle of sufficient reason.
