Delve into the intricate tapestry of metaphysical thought as you explore the themes of substance, perception, and harmony that define "Monadology." This podcast invites listeners to engage with a rotating collection of audiobooks that challenge our understanding of reality through the lens of philosophical inquiry. Each episode presents a complete audiobook, examining the nature of existence and the interplay of individual entities within a grander scheme. With a focus on the concept of monads and the illusion of interactions, these narratives provoke deep reflection on the essence of being and the structure of the universe. This is not a single story but a series of unique explorations that inspire curiosity and broaden perspectives. Join us on this intellectual journey and discover a new book with every episode, enriching your appreciation of the philosophical dimensions of life.

27 AUG 2026 · The Monadology (La Monadologie, 1714) is one of Gottfried Leibniz’s best known works representing his later philosophy. It is a short text which sketches in some 90 paragraphs a metaphysics of simple substances, or monads. What he proposed can be seen as a modification of occasionalism developed by latter-day Cartesians. Leibniz surmised that there are indefinitely many substances individually 'programmed' to act in a predetermined way, each program being coordinated with all the others. This is the pre-established harmony which solved the mind body problem at the cost of declaring any interaction between substances a mere appearance, something which Leibniz accepted. Indeed it was space itself which became an appearance as in his system there was no need for distinguishing inside from outside. True substances were explained as metaphysical points which, Leibniz asserted, are both real and exact — mathematical points being exact but not real and physical ones being real but not exact.
