monism

Examples of monism in the following topics:

• Animism

  • While animists believe everything to be spiritual in nature, they do not necessarily see the spiritual nature of everything in existence as being united (monism), the way pantheists do.

• Pantheism

  • Spinoza held that the two are the same, and this monism is a fundamental quality of his philosophy.

• Monotheism

  • Although monotheism is the belief in a singular God, polytheism is somewhat reconcilable with inclusive monotheism or other forms of monism.

• Early Roots of Psychology

  • As this view holds that the mind and body are one and the same, it later became known as monism.
