'''Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz''' (1646-1716) was a [[Christian]], or, perhaps more accurately, Neo-[[Gnostic]] [[German]] [[polymath]] famous for his contributions to [[mathematics]] and [[philosophy]]. He was a major intellectual force in the 17th and 18th centuries, and is known as the last ''"universal genius"''. Leibniz is also referred to as [[pantheist]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Ľudovít Štúr: štúdie a eseje |editor=Rudolf Chmel |publisher=Kalligram &LIC|year=2015 |pages=117 |isbn=978-80-8101-914-2 |url=http://kalligram.sk/?cl=kniha&iid=753 |quote=Hegel bol panteista, ale svojrázny, ako každý panteista.

In [[physics]], Leibniz proposed the use of "[[dynamics]]" or [[kinetic energy]] to explain motion, rather than "mechanics" that is based on [[Cartesian coordinates]].  Leibniz held the view that [[light]] always travelled the path of least resistance.
