Abstract
In his treatise “the Theodicy” Gottfried Wilhelm Freiherr von Leibniz (1646–1716) wrote in 1710 that ...I have not omitted to show that it is a consequence of the supreme perfection of the Sovereign of the Universe, that the kingdom of God he the most perfect of all possible states or governments, and that consequently the little evil there is, is required for the consummation of the immense good which is there found ... (Leibniz, 1710). Usually this quote is today used in the more condensed form saying that we are living in the best possible of all universes.
