Gottfried Leibniz and Rene Descartes

From the Paper:

"The issue of how knowledge is possible and what knowledge can be considered true and what false is a key one addressed by both Gottfried Leibniz and Ren? Descartes, and in considering what can be known and what can be assumed to be true, both also address the question of the perfection of God and are faced with the need to deal with this perfection in offering proofs of their respective metaphysical views. Leibniz accepted aspects of the Cartesian system while rejecting certain elements considered to be errors. The main structure, however, was to be adapted by Leibniz with a transcendent god.

Descartes accepted the reality and truths of mathematics and attempted to find that which existed in the world that could be demonstrated with scientific and mathematical certainty. Descartes was seeking absolute certainty."
