Philosophy: A Whole New World 🤍
Philosophy is that activity by which the meaning of propositions is established or discovered; it is a question of what the propositions actually mean.

“We know of course there’s really no such thing as the ‘voiceless’. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”

Monism and atomism present a paradoxical relationship in philosophy. Monism argues that reality is fundamentally unified, consisting of one underlying substance or principle. All things are part of a singular, interconnected whole, emphasizing wholeness and unity. Atomism, on the other hand, holds that reality is made up of discrete, indivisible units (atoms or fundamental particles) that combine to form complex phenomena, emphasizing multiplicity and reductionism. The paradox arises because monism focuses on oneness, while atomism focuses on many distinct parts. Monism suggests a holistic view of reality, while atomism suggests a reductive approach. Despite these differences, both can be seen as attempting to explain the same reality, potentially in contradictory or complementary ways, especially in light of modern scientific theories that suggest both fundamental particles and underlying unity (e.g., quantum mechanics).
