Abstract
This paper sums up five of the points that can be found with their complete developments in the main work of the author on the subject, Der Junge Leibniz, t. II: Der Übergang vom Atomismus zu einem mechanischen Aristotelismus. Der revidierte Anschluß an Gassendi. 1. The Syntagma Philosophicum has led Leibniz to his own early atomism. 2. There is a paradoxical historical analogy between Gassendi’s and Thomas Aquinas’ Syntheses of rational knowledge and Christian dogmas. 3. Leibniz’s world is a harmony with a universal mechanical foundation. 4. The very apories of atomism are the origin of Leibniz’s new concept of substance, namely the monad. 5. Technicism, which has emerged out of Descartes’ philosophy, is prevailing and menacing our world in spite of Gassendi’s and Leibniz’s philosophical heritages.
