Abstract

Principles of unity and activity constitute the basis of Leibniz's concept of monad. These principles are necessary for explaining both Leibniz's thoughts on extension and space and the kind of a relationship between material world and the world of monads. Monads are defined as unextended metaphysical points, whereas objects are defended to be well-founded phenomena. This worldview, which carries many philosophical problems, is not a fantastical fiction but but a result of metaphysical reasoning based on principles of unity and activity.
