Downward causation- the correct paradigm for science Leibniz's metaphysics was created in the 17th century to overcome the logical error on which all current science is founded, namely the acceptance that mind and matter can directly interact through effective (upward) causation, although they are completely foreign to one another in nature. The truth is, as Leibniz showed, that all causation is actually downward (caused by mind), although it may appear, as in contemporary science, to be upward-caused.
This does not cause all of today's science, based on appearances, to be wrong, but it opens the door to new (and now perfectly logical) scientific explanations for unexplained phenomena such as gravity and the interactions between brain and mind.
