>top 3 logician
Frege, Russell/Whitehead, Godel, Aristotle, and maybe even Tarski are all above him. Even someone “mediocre” like Ernst Schroder probably ultimate had more impact on logic than him. He just gets credit because some of his schizo ideas slightly resemble modern discoveries.
>top 5 mathematician
He’s top 10 at best.
>top 10 philosopher
Maybe top 25
>top 20 physicist
Top 20 just for some schizo theories and some letters to Newton? Can you suck his dick any harder?

>>16450947
Oh yeah and I totally forgot Boole and De Morgan.

>>16450947
>Russell/Whitehead
Reddit midwit detected, opinion discarded. Those philosopseud morons were mathematically irrelevant. You could have named Genzen, Post or Skolem, but apparently you don't know much about logic.

There is no Godel or type theory without them.

lmfao, leibniz discovered boolean algebra 150 years before boole

only really gauss, euler, and archimedes are in his tier

3 Germans in the top 5.

>>16451026
because dx/dy is not rigorous... uhh, why do you ask? because it just is ok???
>>
>>16450890
Hey, it's that guy who stole calculus from Newton!
>>
>>16451097
By 1675 leibniz had already developed the modern notation for the integral and used the product rule, what use would he have for offhanded mention of "fluxions"
>>
>>16451127
Still he was caught, called out and finally admitted it, vorbei sadly.

>>16451973
You mean the autistic virgin screech that published his theory after the fact and wanted the street cred?

explained Spinoza when he said this is the best of all possible worlds
>>
>>16452785
>explained Spinoza
he actually annihilates Spinoza in one of his letters. Anyway Spinoza is more like "everything exists" rather than "only the best things exist." Also God in Spinoza has no moral sense at all and doesn't love or hate so he can't differentiate between a better and a worse world.
>>
>>16453039
Spinoza would agree with him that this is the best of all possible worlds, because Spinoza's world couldn't have been any other way than it is.

>he can't differentiate between a better and a worse world
>has no moral sense at all

you're underestimating Spinoza's God
that God has all the abilities and all the senses we do, and all the ones we don't
more than we have the ability to concieve of

Aristotle.......LOL!

That nigga was wrong about EVERYTHING. LOL!
>>
>>16450890
.....and all without so much as an abacus, much less a "computer"/"calculator", or any "peers" aside from Newton.

It's not only what these guys did that's so impressive, but how they did it without so much as a fucking lightbulb to help them read a book for which there was likely only one copy on the planet Earth that was written in Ancient Greek or Latin.


Most "Modern Mathematicians" don't ever do 1/20th of what he and the other "Greats" did in their time. It's rather embarrassing, really.
>>
>>16453221
It's not the same statement though because for Spinoza it would be vacuously true while for Leibniz it actually means something.
>>
>>16453221
also
>God has all the abilities and senses we do
he literally doesn't. read Spinoza God does not love or hate.
