1. Monism

   Monism is a philosophical position which argues that the variety of existing things can be explained in terms of a single reality or substance. The wide definition states that all existing things go back to a source which is distinct from them. The common, restricted definition implies also a unity of substance and essence. Contrasting with monism are metaphysical dualism and metaphysical pluralism. The term monism originates in western philosophy, but has also been applied to religions.
