• A priori and a posterioriRelated: Leibniz argued that experience occasions, but does not supply, certain necessary ideas.

• InfinitesimalRelated: His differential calculus explicitly reasoned with infinitesimal differences.

• Mechanical calculatorRelated: His design introduced a durable way to perform multiplication by repeated mechanical operations.

• Transcendental idealismRelated: Kant’s account of space and knowledge developed partly through criticism of Leibnizian rationalism.

• Innate ideasRelated: His New Essays replies to Locke by defending inborn dispositions of understanding.

• Integral calculusRelated: His integral notation and rules helped make integration a systematic calculus.

• Johann BernoulliRelated: Johann corresponded with Leibniz and became a leading advocate of his calculus.

• Nonstandard analysisRelated: His calculus supplied the historical infinitesimal reasoning that nonstandard analysis formalized.

• Process philosophyRelated: His active monads helped prepare modern accounts of reality as dynamic.

• History of calculusRelated: His symbols for differentials and integrals became the standard language of calculus.

• Principle of Sufficient ReasonRelated: Leibniz made the principle central to his metaphysics and theory of explanation.

• Jakob BernoulliRelated: Bernoulli learned and promoted Leibnizian calculus in continental Europe.

• Nicolas MalebrancheRelated: Leibniz’s harmony offered an alternative to Malebranche’s direct divine production of events.

• CandideRelated: His ideas provided a major philosophical target for Voltaire’s treatment of optimism.

• Prussian Academy of SciencesRelated: Leibniz designed the academy and became its first president.

• Thing-in-itselfRelated: Kant’s critique rejects the assumption that intellectual concepts reveal reality beyond sensible experience.

• Gustav FechnerRelated: Leibniz’s account of unnoticed perceptions influenced Fechner’s thinking about sensation.

• Guillaume de l’HôpitalRelated: Leibniz’s differential calculus is the subject of l’Hôpital’s textbook.

• Identity of indiscernibles (metaphysics)Related: He formulated and defended the principle as part of his account of individual substances.

• Law of noncontradictionRelated: He distinguished truths of reason grounded in noncontradiction from contingent truths.

• Leibniz integral ruleRelated: The rule bears his name and uses ideas expressed in his differential notation.

• Nicholas of CusaRelated: Leibniz treated Cusa as a predecessor in inquiries into unity, infinity, and knowledge.

• John WallisRelated: Leibniz engaged with Wallis’s work on infinite series and mathematical analysis.

• Young's inequality for productsRelated: The notation and ideas of conjugate exponents belong to a longer history of mathematical analysis.

• Roger Joseph BoscovichRelated: Leibniz’s rejection of simple extended atoms parallels a central question in Boscovich’s theory.

• Anna WierzbickaRelated: Wierzbicka’s search for universal semantic elements recalls Leibniz’s project of a basic vocabulary of thought.
