Maclain Hunter on Monads Premises: P: Leibniz’s Monadology posits that monads are the simple substances (plural) that underlie individual identity. He arrives here following the PSR and an axiom of simplicity. Q: I say, however, in regard to P, that it doesn’t make sense why there would then be monads or “simples” plural as the Ultimate Cause (Logos) or Fundamental Reality (Theos - Arche) instead of the Logos as “the Foundational Universal Principle”. R: I don’t agree with Leibniz that there must ultimately be disconnected and independent “monads” (plural), but rather insist that Reality is better explained logically as the infinite manifestation of the Logos. S: This Root of Existence (God - Logos) is “Self-Sufficient Reason” itself. This therefore better aligns, and more necessarily aligns with the Principle of Sufficient Reason than mere monads and Monadology. Formal Reasoning: {P, P -> Q, Q -> R, R -> S} |= (S -> R) -> (Q -> P) Conclusion: {P, Q, R, S}: Reality as the (infinite/complete) manifestation of the Logos—the Logic of Reality (also called God in theological terms)—better satisfies Logic and the PSR than theories that independent monads are fundamental. Logical singularity is ultimately more coherent and necessary/fundamental than monadic pluralism. Leibniz talked about God harmonizing the monads but this contradicts any claim to monads being fundamental (non-contingent) or independent (and not extant within a unified logical framework matching the Logos). Even if/while we accept monads as a valid philosophical concept, the plural and finite forms of the universal concept of the Monad (singular and beyond a single finite instantiation of the Monad) would be contingent STILL upon that broader and more fundamental concept of the Monad. The Monad itself could then and STILL only be considered God and the Foundation of the Cosmos by aligning with the Logos—being fully coherent—as the Universal Order and Logical Foundation of Existence (God). This is akin to the way that the concept of “the Home” logically transcends and supersedes, and gives Coherence/Identity to, any/every finite and specific instance or example of a house/home (ie - my home). Truly, if the Monad is so fully coherent with the Logos that the Monad is God and fundamental then it can still be argued that the important part logically remains that God is fully coherent with Logic (and “Theos = Logos”) rather than it mattering so much that a proprietary term like “Monad” can be applied to the Origin and God (or what is fundamental to the Universe). Multiplicity is always derivative in Logic, as the logical concept is derived from logically complete Logic (even and especially when the “logical concept” in question is “logically complete Logic” itself). Monads, plural and in a finite context, must logically equate to the Logos (or the Infinite Monad) in the universal and singular sense, in that same context and with the same limitations imposed by that finite context, with its terms and conditions. This requires that monads (plural) be contingent and in flux according to changes in context and the interactions of the full range of contexts with each other and with the Logical Ground (Logos - Logic - the Essence of the Monad).
