What is Leibniz's theory of monads?
My theory posits that the fundamental constituents of reality are monads – simple, unextended, immaterial substances. Each monad is a unique, self-contained universe, possessing perception and appetition. They do not interact causally but are in pre-established harmony, like countless clocks perfectly synchronized by God. This inherent order explains the apparent causal connections we observe in the phenomenal world and accounts for the rich diversity of existence, all reflecting the divine plan in their unique perspectives.
