Question: Another passage from Leibniz that I need help on!!!!?
I'm reading Leibniz's Monadology and having trouble understanding what some passages mean!? Can someone please explain, I'm planning on writing a paper on him this weekend!.!.!.thanks in advance!!!

Here's the passage:

there are also two kinds of truth: truth of reasoning and truths of fact!. truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is impossible; those of fact are contingent and their opposite is possible!. Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Truths of reasoning are necessary because they're opposite will provoke questioning, that the reasoner cannot answer!.

For instance, how was the world created!? Will we ever know that answer!? No!. So scientists come up with reasoning such as the Big Bang theory, etc!. So for this is ok, but it still provokes questions that cannot be answer!. And for that the truths of reasoning cannot have an opposite!.

However, the trues of facts can have an opposite, because fact answers all their questions!. Therefore, they're opositive can exist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
