Monism
Monism is the view that attributes oneness or singleness (Greek:μόνος) to a concept (e.g. existence).
Substance monism is the philosophical view that a variety of existing things can be explained in terms of a single reality or substance. Another definition states that all existing things go back to a source that is distinct from them (e.g. in
Neoplatonism everything is derived from The One). This is often termed
priority monism, and is the view that only one thing is ontologically basic or prior to everything else.

About
Monism
Monism A philosophy which derives all phenomena from a single origin: thus, making mind the result of matter; matter the result of mind; or again, mind and matter the result of some unitary essence prior to both. Far from being incompatible with dualism, monism is logically interdependent with it. Duality prevails everywhere, and everywhere dualities can be referred back to unities. The triad is the true number of manifestation and the key to the dispute between monists and dualists. See also DUALISM
