Leibniz, Gottfried Wilhelm, Baron von[both: gOt´frEt vil´helm bArOn´ fan lIp´nits] Pronunciation Key, 1646–1716, German philosopher and mathematician, b. Leipzig. Although known primarily as a philosopher, Leibniz's scholarship embraced the physical sciences, history, law, diplomacy, and logic. The recognition of his work in logic came quite late; manuscripts published in the 20th cent. mark him as the founder of symbolic logic.
