Philosophy

Hello. Please help me write 5-7 sentences for journal entry. Suggested topic:  "Moreover, every substance is like a complete world and like a mirror of God or of the whole universe, which each one expresses in its own way.” How does this statement by Leibniz relate to the theme of the course? What happens to the autonomy of the self established by Descartes?
