What does MONIST mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who holds that reality consists of a single fundamental substance or principle, rather than two or more distinct kinds.
A monist rejects dualist views, such as a sharp split between mind and matter, arguing instead that everything ultimately reduces to one underlying stuff or one governing principle. The position has been argued in very different directions: some monists say everything is fundamentally physical, others that everything is fundamentally mental. The term is mainly used in philosophy and the history of ideas rather than in everyday speech.
