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.
