- The Lorber Revelations state that specifica, which resemble Leibniz's monads, form the most basic, irreducible substance of all physical and metaphysical creation.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz posited that monads are created by God, who is himself a monad.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's metaphysics posits that the universe consists of an infinity of indivisible substances called monads, which function as self-contained centers of perception.
- Spinoza’s pantheism, Leibniz’s monads, and the philosophy of Bertrand Russell are considered early examples of cosmological models that align with aspect dualism.
- Gottfried Leibniz's philosophical view holds that the universe's fundamental structure is composed of infinitely many absolutely simple mental substances known as monads.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz asserted that monads cannot interact with each other because they are absolutely simple substances.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz distinguished between 'mere aggregates' (like a heap of sand) and 'organic unities' or organisms, based on whether a dominant monad represents the point of view of the system.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz explicitly denied that the world-system as a whole has a corresponding monad.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz conceived of monads as mentalistic automatons that move from one perceptual state to another according to a pre-defined rule imposed by God.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) proposed a system of infinitely many substances called monads, which are absolutely simple and exist independently of any other thing.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz ascribed mentalistic attributes to his monads to make active forces in physics intelligible, effectively ending the purely mechanical world view.
- In Leibniz's philosophy, organisms are hierarchically ordered sets of monads, whereas mere aggregates lack this hierarchical organization and thus lack a unified mental aspect.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz posited that almost all mental states are unconscious, and that low-level monads do not aspire to consciousness, which he termed apperception.
- Each monad in Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's philosophy carries complete information about the entire universe within itself.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz reduced space to non-spatial similarity or correspondence relationships between the intrinsic natures of monads.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz stated: “Monads…possess a number of characteristics that are related to mental qualities”, notably perception and appetite (a primitive drive).
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz defined monads as true substances that are absolutely simple and exist independently of any other thing.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz viewed space and time as sets of relations among monads, rather than as fundamental entities, suggesting they are non-spatial and non-temporal in their own nature.
- Historically, panpsychism draws from Baruch Spinoza's dictum that 'all things are animate in various degrees' and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's vision of a universe composed of perceiving monads.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz conceived of monads as mentalistic automatons that transition between perceptual states according to a pre-defined rule imposed by God.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz proposed that the universe is composed of substances called monads, which are absolutely simple, exist independently of other things, and cannot interact with each other.
