- Gottfried Leibniz
- Why is there something rather than nothing?
- Principle of sufficient reason
- everything that exists must have a reason for its existence
- If something exists there must be a reason why that thing exists
- If a statement is true there must be a reason why it is true
- If something happens there must be a reason why it happens
- If something exists and is eternal we still need a reason for its eternal existence
- Books- 'we will never find in them a complete explanation for why there is any world at all and why the world is as it is'
