Franklin Perkins attempted to revive anglophone scholarship on this philosopher's interest in China, with whom this philosopher wanted to establish a "commerce of light." His contemporary Fontenelle failed to write a chronology of his life. In an oft analysed anecdote this thinker makes a bet with an "ingenious gentleman" to find two identical leaves. This man's correspondence with De Volder resulted in his account of substance, which differs from Aristotle's in that properties are not required to be possessed throughout the (*) entire existence of an object. This thinker presented himself as Theophilus in a refutation of a contemporary titled the New Essays. This thinker, who corresponded with Samuel Clarke, is the namesake of a law stating objects with all the same properties must be identical; that is the identity of indiscernibles. For 10 points, name this monad obsessed author of Theodicy.
