The first appearance of the standard text First Gottsched edition of the Théodicée (first 1710), the version which remains the standard German text, expanded with important additions.The Sprachreformer Johann Christoph Gottsched aimed at freeing the text from the inaccessibly convoluted metaphysical language of Richter's translation (1720). Fontenelle's eulogy to Leibniz introduces the text while addressing the Newton-Leibniz controversy over priority in the discovery of differential calculus. The appendix adds several short works by Leibniz relevant to the issues dealt with in the Theodicee; of those, four appear here in German for the first time. The choice of essays reflected Gottsched's plan to integrate Leibniz's mathematical-scientific and metaphysical work: included in the selection are works on the binary system (the fundamental and typographically complex Rechnung mit Null und Eins) and the description of Leibniz's invention, the first calculating machine capable of performing all four arithmetical operations, accompanied by an engraved plate – here is missing
Gottfried Wilhelm (von) Leibniz (1 July 1646 [O.S. 21 June] – 14 November 1716) was a German polymath active as a mathematician, philosopher, scientist and diplomat. He is one of the most prominent figures in both the history of philosophy and the history of mathematics. He wrote works on philosophy, theology, ethics, politics, law, history and philology. Leibniz also made major contributions to physics and technology, and anticipated notions that surfaced much later in probability theory, biology, medicine, geology, psychology, linguistics and computer science. In addition, he contributed to the field of library science: while serving as overseer of the Wolfenbüttel library in Germany, he devised a cataloging system that would have served as a guide for many of Europe's largest libraries.[16] Leibniz's contributions to this vast array of subjects were scattered in various learned journals, in tens of thousands of letters and in unpublished manuscripts. He wrote in several languages, primarily in Latin, French and German, but also in English, Italian and Dutch.
