The relation between different perspectives all of which are "unique" and "irreducible" to one another is one of a creative encounter. This kind of relation of history of philosophy which can be said to reproduce a Deleuzian conception of history of philosophy, is at the same time thinking per se. Ulus Baker's conception of truth as a symbolic unity revealed not in sameness but in difference, when read together with Leibniz, will point to the "critical" aspect of seeing the universe as a set of multiple perspectives.This paper, which discusses the relation of thinking with the history of philosophy at a time when philosophy cannot declare the truth but can only offer perspectives towards the truth, is based on Ulus Baker's reading of Leibniz's monadology.
