Catholic Word of the Day: MONISM, 02-20-10
CatholicReference.net ^ | 02-20-10 | Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary

Featured Term (selected at random):

MONISM

Any system of philosophy that substitutes a unity of substance for a unity of order in the universe. It denies all plurality of beings, considering only the One to be real and the manifold an illusion. Various philosophers have differently conceived this one reality as spirit or matter, or as spirit emanating matter, or as matter evolving into spirit. Monism is pantheism looked at from the viewpoint of being. (Etym. Greek monos, alone, single.)

and our homework assignment is to use primary sources from the writings of Spinoza to explain monism more thoroughly?
