MAIN CATEGORIES OF NEO-CONFUCIANIZM AND LEIBNIZ’S MONADOLOGY
Abstract
Leibniz was the founder of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin, outstanding mathematician and man of deep knowledge and broad views. He became one of the best experts in Chinese philosophy in Europe. It happened because he helped Christian missionaries, which were living in China to interpret philosophical Chinese texts. But the question arises: can we say, that the ideas of neo-Confucianism to some extend influenced Leibniz’s philosophy? The article offers reasoning on this topic.
