A Study Of Leibniz's Binary Thought

The binary thought of Leibniz,a great German philosopher,is an insignificant component of his vast ideological system.However,this thought has a very important leading and even substantial influence on many later research fields.In the field of philosophy and logic,the basic states of everything,such as existence or non-existence or death,open and closed,good and bad,can be corresponding and expressed by the binary concepts of 1 and 0.This idea is directly applied to the logic of electronic circuits and plays a fundamental role in modern computer science.The binary system invented by Leibniz not only provides a set of basic machine language for computer language,but also some basic philosophical principles and logical thoughts contained in the binary thought provide inexhaustible inspiration and thought power for the design and research of artificial intelligence.This paper is devoted to the study of Leibniz's binary thought from the perspective of the history of scientific thought.This paper introduces and analyzes Leibniz's basic and original treatise on binary system by means of literature investigation,cross-disciplinary comparative study and thought source exploration.This paper focuses on how Leibniz's binary ideas were gradually formed in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.At the same time,this paper will focus on the analysis of the internal relationship between Leibniz's binary thought and other elements of his thought and thus make a theoretical positioning of his binary thought in Leibniz's thought system.Through in-depth analysis of the original binary creation course,leibniz himself thought background and his personal philosophy system to grasp the essence of leibniz binary thought,origin,evolution,and its application practice,and thus to demonstrate the leibniz binary thinking has the profound huge prospective and contemporary value.Through combing and analyzing the historical background and theoretical prelude of binary,we can see that binary in the modern sense has a slow development process before it comes into being,but binary in this stage is only used as a way of counting.The social and historical background of chaos and war in Leibniz's own time,the theoretical drive of theological research,the great progress in mathematics and mechanics in the scientific community at that time,and Leibniz's attention to China's Yi Tu all provided historical opportunities for Leibniz to develop his original binary thoughts.At the same time,the study of other bases in western academic circles also laid a foundation for the creation of Leibniz's thought.Of course,more importantly,the existence and interaction of a series of important concepts and elements in Leibniz's own thought system,such as combinatorial thought,universal language hypothesis,theological cosmology and so on,provide the most fundamental inspiration and ideological enlightenment for Leibniz to create binary thought.Finally,we will see that Leibniz's binary thought has been best applied in the logic of electronic circuits,which has become the most important technical foundation and theoretical foundation for the research and development of electronic computer technology and artificial intelligence.
