== Denominational background ==
Leibniz was a [[Lutheran]] who dreamed of reuniting the Lutheran faith with the [[Roman Catholic Church]], and also of reconciling modern thinkers like [[Hobbes]] and [[Descartes]] with the [[Scholasticism|Scholastics]], or even with the earlier [[Greeks|Greek]] philosopher [[Aristotle]]. Such striving to reconcile various schools of thought is known as [[syncretism]] and was native to [[gnostic]] [[heresy]].
