Universal science (German: Universalwissenschaft; Latin: scientia generalis, scientia universalis) is a branch of metaphysics.[1] In the work of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, the universal science is the true logic.[2][3][4] The idea of establishing a universal science originated in the seventeenth century with philosophers Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes.[5] Bacon and Descartes conceptualized universal science as a unified approach to collect scientific information similar to encyclopedias of universal knowledge but were unsuccessful.[5] Leibniz extended their ideas to use logic as an "index" to order universal scientific and mathematical information[5] as an operational system with a universal language.[6]Plato's system of idealism, formulated using the teachings of Socrates, is a predecessor to the concept of universal science and influenced Leibniz' s views against materialism in favor of logic.[7] It emphasizes on the first principles which appear to be the reasoning behind everything, emerging and being in state with everything. This mode of reasoning had a supporting influence on great scientists such as Boole, Frege, Cantor, Hilbert, Gödel, and Turing. [8] All of these great minds shared a similar dream, vision or belief in a future where universal computing would eventually change everything. [9]
