Sokrates, etwa im Jahre 469 vor Christus geboren, wurde um Jahre 399 der Prozess gemacht. Ihm wurde wegen "Asebie", also Unfrömmigkeit, der Prozess gemacht und er wurde für schuldig erklärt.

"Deux siècles de révolte, métaphysique ou historique, s'offrent justement à notre réflexion. Un historien, seul, pourrait prétendre à exposer en détail les doctrines et les mouvements qui s'y succèdent. Du moins, il doit être possible d'y chercher un fil conducteur. Les pages qui suivent proposent seulement quelques repères historiques et une hypothèse de lecture. Cette hypothèse n'est pas la seule possible ; elle est loin, d'ailleurs, de tout éclairer.

Heute gilt Leibniz als das letzte Universalgenie und als Wegbereiter der Moderne. Als Mensch und als Philosoph war er zutiefst optimistisch, aufgeben war für ihn nie eine Option. Hier lernen wir Leibniz' ganze Welt kennen. An sieben Tagen seines Lebens zwischen 1675 und 1716 sehen wir ihm über die Schulter: In Paris treffen wir ihn im Bett an, wo er morgens seine besten Gedanken entwickelt. In Hannover plaudert er am Hof mit der Kurfürstin, im Harz tüftelt er über Windmühlen. Sein größter Wurf ist die Skizze einer Maschine, die mit den Zahlen 0 und 1 rechnet – Grundlage des Digitalcodes und damit des Computers.
