Abstract

Under the guidance of the epistemological principle of seeking to mediate rationalism and experientialism, Leibniz put forward the theory of two kinds of truth. What is called two kinds of truth: one is the inferential truth; the other is the factual truth. He strictly differentiated these two kinds of truth, holding that they are opposed absolutely and cannot go beyond each other. In fact, the logical truth and the factual truth are not entirely different, and the difference between them is not absolute. They both have a certain experiential basis, and they are identical in this respect.
