Leibniz also utilized his principle of sufficient reason to formulate his own version of the cosmological argument. (for the existence of URL As you read above, Leibniz argued that every being, event or a true proposition has a reason,cause or explanation. (In another words every being has a sufficient reason for its existence and every true proposition has a reason to explain why the proposition holds true) Leibniz argued, even if someone is able to tell a being or true proposition's sufficient reason (a reason that explains why the proposition holds true), he can keep asking the question "why?" to explain the reason why the explanation for a certain being, event or a proposition holds true.(Because the reason/explanation for a contingent being or truth is also a contingent truth) A chain of philosophical questions about why a certain proposition holds true that fizzles out or continue endlessly,cant establish or compose a proper sufficient reason. Such a definite and sufficient reason must go outside, transcending the series of contingent explanations. From here, Leibniz argues that any rational philosophical inquiry for reasons (or cause,explanation of something) must end with a “necessary substance”—a substance that exists necessarily ( being that can not NOT exist) and does not need any contingent explanation. Leibniz concludes the necessary substance or being must be an omnibenevolent God.
