Leibniz's monad

[STT]

I was reading about Leibniz and I found his idea of monad very interesting. Monad is the basic element of the reality. Everything is made of them. Now think of a being, human being for example, which is built of these monads. Monads have capacity to experience and act. One can imagine them as in a hierarchy from monad which does very simple thing, to monad of an electron, to monad of a cell, to monad of human. So a human monad is basically what we call the person and in charge of control of high level tasks and the rest of monad do their low level tasks. All monads interact with each other in a complex manner and make a being what it is.

STT, you need to read the whole Monadology before you state your scenario: Leibnizian monads do not interact between them. They have “no windows”.

You are correct. Causal relationship is replaced with pre-established harmony and causal laws with functional relationships. Thanks.
