Hi Rod Young 2013-6-26,5:18:27 1) I haven't had much sleep lately, so I hope this doesn't sound too crackpot.
2) How about this book --> Leibniz for Children ? (it would be in english) 3) It would be fun and educational to boil down leibniz's ideas about the universe, illustrate the text and making it simple enough for children to grasp the main topics. 4) By makling it a childrens' book, we wouldn't be so apt to be seriously criticized by those arrogant big shots.----> "It isn't even wrong," said Sarfatti. 5) And there'd be little text to have to write. 6) Do you know any artists to make the pictures ? I have a quasi relative up in Baltimore who might like to do it (even for fun ? dunno). 7) And we could maybe publish it as an android app. Maybe even turn it into a game. 8) We could model it on children's books about Einstein, see http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=node%3D4&field-keywords=einstein+for+kids+OR+children ========================================================== Here's a possible ordered set of topics (1 on a page or 2 pages, with illustrations): 1. Introduction, pointing out the need for Leibniz in today's world. For brain science, the universe at large, ab. 2.The pre-established harmony. The living universe. Entelechy is why the actions of higher beings is goal shaped 3. With reference to Descartes, and the mind/matter impenetrability issue, dualism, why monads ? What is a monad ? 4. Why must monads be blind and immobile ? What are the three types of soul ? 5. Changes in monads and the necessity of God or Plato's One to do that. 6. The two types of truth (necessary and contiingent) The neccessary truths belong to Heaven and God. The contingent truths down here don't always give us justice. 7. The imperfect, contingent world, the everyday world of science, time and imperfection. This is a mixture of a) those truths that enhance life are said to be good, and b) those which like war and disease, which diminish life and so are said to be evil. 8 Evil and suffering--->No way to make it perfect,l as man has free will to do evil, and there are naqtural disasters (tsunamis, tornados, volcanic eruptions, the evil deeds men can do). 9 But since God is good, he will act so as to minimize suffering and promote goodness. We are the more dominant monads and so closest to God, thus prayer can act to minimize evil and maximize goodness 10 We hope for a better world after our body dies (while our sols are undamaged) 11.. End or goal oriented causation (life forces) suggest we are headed back towards God, Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (ret.)
