- Gottfried Leibniz

About this Quote

In this quote, Gottfried Leibniz is recommending that when we need to find out why something is true, we can simplify into its part and examine them individually. By evaluating each part and understanding how they fit together, we can uncover the fact behind the statement or concept. He likewise suggests that there must be some essential facts or concepts that act as the foundation for more complicated ones.
