This thinker imagined Alexander the Great’s soul to illustrate both a “complete individual concept” and the “doctrine of marks and traces.” This thinker used Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon to illustrate a theory of truth where predicates are contained within concepts. This thinker argued that only necessary truths are grounded on Aristotle’s principle of non-contradiction, while contingent truths are grounded in what this thinker called the Principle of Sufficient Reason. Before his death in 1716, this thinker argued that the only beings were “windowless” simple substances, which are only fully understood by the all-knowing God described in his Théodicée (“tay-oh-dee-SAY”). For 10 points, name this optimistic German philosopher who wrote Monadology and claimed that we lived in the best of all possible worlds. ■END■
