In the closing years of the 17th century one of the most brilliant of modern European philosophers became actively involved in the search for the intellectual and spiritual accord between Europe and China. In his search, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz entered the "Rites Controversy" on the side of the Jesuits, who had achieved positions of remarkable proximity to the Chinese throne. Yet less than 40 years later, the optimism of their cause had dimmed. Leibnitz died in isolation in Hanover, the papacy ruled against the Jesuits at Rome, and in China there was a growing distrust of the Christian missionaries by the monarchy.
