Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: De quelque manière que Dieu aurait créé le monde, il aurait toujours été régulier et dans un certain ordre général. Mais Dieu a choisi celui qui est le plus parfait, c’est-à-dire celui qui est en même temps le plus simple en hypothèses et le plus riche en phénomènes...

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: In whatever manner God created the world, it would always have been regular and in a certain general order. God, however, has chosen the most perfect, that is to say, the one which is at the same time the simplest in hypothesis and the richest in phenomena.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: Or, comme il y a une infinité d'univers possibles dans les idées de Dieu, et qu'il n'en peut exister qu'un seul, il faut qu'il y ait une raison suffisante du choix de Dieu qui le détermine à l'un plutôt qu'à l'autre. Et cette raison ne peut se trouver que dans la convenance, dans les degrés de perfection que ces mondes contiennent, chaque possible ayant droit de prétendre à l'existence à mesure de la perfection qu'il enveloppe.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: To love is to be delighted by the happiness of someone, or to experience pleasure upon the happiness of another. I define this as true love.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: Now, as there is an infinity of possible universes in the Ideas of God, and as only one of them can exist, there must be a sufficient reason for God's choice, which determines him toward one rather than another. And this reason can be found only in the fitness, or the degrees of perfection, that these worlds contain, since each possible thing has the right to claim existence in proportion to the perfection it involves.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: Musica est exercitium arithmeticae occultum nescientis se numerare animi.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: Music is a hidden arithmetic exercise of the soul, which does not know that it is counting.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: Pour ce qui est des connaissances non-écrites qui se trouvent dispersées parmi les hommes de différents professions, je suis persuadé qu’ils passent de beaucoup tant à l'égard de la multitude que de l'importance, tout ce qui se trouve marqué dans les livres, et que la meilleure partie de notre trésor n'est pas encore enregistrée.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: I am convinced that the unwritten knowledge scattered among men of different callings surpasses in quantity and in importance anything we find in books, and that the greater part of our wealth has yet to be recorded.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: La nature ne fait jamais des sauts.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: Nature does not make leaps.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: Il y a aussi deux sortes de vérités, celles de Raisonnement et celle de Fait. Les vérités de Raisonnement sont nécessaires et leur opposé est impossible, et celles de Fait sont contingentes et leur opposé est possible.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: There are two kinds of truths: those of reasoning and those of fact. The truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is impossible; the truths of fact are contingent and their opposites are possible.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: I really believe that languages are the best mirror of the human mind and that a precise analysis of the meanings of words would tell us more than anything else about the operations of the understanding.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: Omne possibile exigit existere.

Description: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz quote: Everything that is possible demands to exist.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: We don't need any atom bomb. The uprooting of man has already taken place. The only thing we have left is purely technological relationships. This is no longer the earth on which man lives.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: I do not see the situation of man in the world of global technology as a fate which cannot be escaped or unraveled. On the contrary, I see the task of thought to consist in helping man in general, within the limits allotted to thought, to achieve an adequate relationship to the essence of technology.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: Das Bedenklichste in unserer bedenklichen Zeit ist, dass wir noch nicht denken.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: The grandeur of man is measured according to what he seeks and according to the urgency by which he remains a seeker.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: Warum ist überhaupt Seiendes und nicht vielmehr Nichts? Das ist die Frage.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: Why are there beings at all, and why not rather nothing? That is the question.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: Technology is in its essence something which man cannot master by himself.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: “We think of beauty as being most worthy of reverence. But what is most worthy of reverence lights up only where the magnificent strength to revere is alive. To revere is not a thing for the petty and lowly, the incapacitated and underdeveloped. It is a matter of tremendous passion; only what flows from such passion is in the grand style.”

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: Everywhere we remain unfree and chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it. But we are delivered over to it in the worst possible way when we regard it as something neutral; for this conception of it, to which today we particularly like to do homage, makes us utterly blind to the essence of technology.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: Language is the house of the truth of Being.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: Die Sprache ist das Haus des Seins.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: It is said that "being" is the most universal and the emptiest concept. As such it resists every attempt at definition. Nor does this most universal and thus indefinable concept need any definition. Everybody uses it constantly and also already understands what is meant by it.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: Every questioning is a seeking. Every seeking takes its direction beforehand from what is sought. Questioning is a knowing search for beings in their thatness and whatness.

Description: Martin Heidegger quote: Transcendence constitutes selfhood.

Description: Lou Andreas-Salomé quote: I can neither live according to models, nor shall I ever be able to provide a model for anyone else. On the contrary, what I shall quite certainly do is to shape my own life according to myself, whatever may come of it. In this I have no principle to put forth, but something much more wonderful — something that is within oneself and is hot with sheer life, and rejoices and wants to come out.

Description: Lou Andreas-Salomé quote: The optimistic nature finds joy in the very feeling for life; the pessimistic nature finds a feeling for life only in joy.
