  • Gottfried Leibniz- A mathematician and philosopher
    • Well known for his treaty on optimism
    • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_leibniz
    • His belief is that because God is omnipotently powerful and all knowing and all good, nothing that God creates could go against that. So therefore, anything that happens is the will of God. God's will is all good. Therefore, anything that happens in the world is the best thing that could possibly happen. 
  • Voltaire is really the great French Enlightenment thinker
