The article describes Leibnizian project of modernisation of the country based on a reform of the language and intellectual reconstruction of German society. The project results directly from Leibnizian epistemology and philosophy of language. His vision of the state is tightly connected to the concept of society based on knowledge. Knowledge is above all archived in a language and language is the best mirror of the mind for a philosopher. The subject of analysis is a short Leibniz’s treatise Unvorgreifliche Gedancken, interpreted by the author in the context of the philosopher’s political thought.
