Along with many of his contemporaries, the great philosopher and mathematician G.W.
Leibniz (1646–1716) proposed the idea of a ‘universal character’.
Does it mean that Leibniz proposed that idea in cooperation with his contemporaries? What does this sentence mean exactly?

It means that Leibniz was not the only person of his day to hold that idea.

As written, the sentence is ambiguous. We can, however, try to glean what the author intended. I would lean toward rewriting it as "Like many of his contemporaries,..." Cooperation would more likely call for "along with some of his contemporaries, e.g., Newton, etc..." But the highly unspecific "many" suggests that these people were each working alone and, perhaps, in competition with each other. The confusion arises because we can list Leibniz "along with many of his contemporaries," but that's us putting them side by side, not them working side by side.
