technical
The philosophical view that reality is made of one kind of substance or principle, not two or many.
Monism stands against dualism, which splits the world into mind and matter, and against pluralism, which counts many basic things. Thinkers such as Spinoza are often called monists because they treat everything as aspects of a single reality. A materialist who says only matter exists and an idealist who says only mind exists are both monists, in opposite directions. The term was popularised in the eighteenth century.
