One portion of this book claims that "there is nothing fallow, nothing sterile... no confusion save in appearance" that refutes any of its conclusions. This work is the second by its author to consider a machine that "think[s], feel[s] ha[s] perception" and is larger in size, such that one might enter it as if it was a mill. It concludes that "it appears that each living body has a dominant entelechy," or completeness, which are self-sufficient "autarcheia". The starting point of this book is its author's claim that "Our reasonings are based on two great principles, that of contradiction, and that of sufficient reason". In section 58, this work reasserts that God has created the "greatest possible world", an argument taken from Theodicy. For 10 points, name this work that theorizes that everything consists of the title tiny particle, written by Leibniz.
