 Monism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In monistic theism, God is both Immanent and Transcendent.
Theological arguments can be made for this within Christianity, for example employing the Roman Catholic doctrine of "divine simplicity" (though a monistic interpretation of that doctrine would not be orthodox), as well as in many other religions (Hinduism, Ayyavazhi and Judaism in particular).
There is a growing undercurrent of monism in the modern spiritual and philosophical climate, evidenced by increasing Western fascination with Hinduism (including Vedanta and Yoga), Taoism, Buddhism, Pantheism, Surat Shabda Yoga, Zen, and similar systems of thought which explore the mystical and spiritual elements of a monistic philosophy.

Man, Hitler believed, is of nature and must immerse himself in it-a direct parallel to the credo of the Monist religion.
Haeckel and his Monist followers were at the very center of the formation of the Wandervogel.
Just as Haeckel had taught as one of the articles of Monist faith that the' extent of the universe is infinite and unbounded, and that the' duration of the world is equally infinite and unbounded"

Plekhanov's "comfort" in the face of death was stated in terms of reincarnation reminiscent of Buddhism or Hinduism, branches of pantheist idealist monism.
Both view the world as one ("monist"), excluding the transcendent God and Creator of the Bible.
His mystical idealist monism denied that God, the Creator ex nihilo of all things, was ontologically different from the world, which he presented in the manner of ancient pantheism and the New Age movement today as one monistic whole in "all-unity" with God.

 Manuscripts Pragmatism
This manuscript was intended as the fourth article of the Monist series of 1905-06, with two more articles following: The fourth article was to begin the apology, the fifth to have contained the main argument, and the sixth to have provided the subsidiary arguments and illustrations.
Not published is the first part of the manuscript which follows the third of the Monist articles very closely.
Unpublished are CSP's thoughts on the relevance of existential graphs to the truth of pragmaticism; his view that existential graphs afford a moving picture of thought, and his reflections on telepathy, spiritualism, and clairvoyance.

 The Church's Crisis of Identity
This is a consistent monist redefinition of prayer.
Earlier I noted that a monist within the Church had simply to tie his view to Jesus to justify the claim to be Christian.
These texts certainly seem to be an attempt to create a monistic liturgy and ultimately to enshrine the monist worldview as the worship of the Church, where it will have the deepest effect.

 Monistic Evolutionism As A Pseudo-Paradigm For Theories Of Human Action
The development of racist attitudes can also be traced directly to monistic evolutionism seeing man as simply an extension of the rest of nature, and of the animal realm in particular.
Darwin himself laid his finger on the fundamental trouble with monistic evolutionism.
They also took it upon themselves to select the humans "worthy" to be propagated, and those "unworthy" and therefore to be eliminated.

The Monists are not a school of people in perfect accord however, for within the Monist camp there are five different sub-schools.
One school for each of those who believe in the primacy of a particular element: earth, water, fire, air; and those that believe the fundamental material of the universe is a fifth thing, sometimes called a 'hyle' (used to mean wood, the green, and/or a “generic substance” depending on who you ask).
Monists are natural philosophers in the truest sense, they practice dialectic and theoretical debate; they conduct experiments in the world and in their dark smoky labs; and they practice alchemy, both to demonstrate their theories, and help finance their efforts.

 Dialectical monism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the dialectical monist, the essential unity is that of complementary polarities which, while opposed in the realm of experience and perception, are co-substantial in a transcendent sense.
For dialectical monists, this explains the fact of physical self-organization in Nature, as well as the observed tendency for human societies to achieve gradual "progress" over time.
Dialectical monism has been mentioned in Western literature, although infrequently.

 One Monist's Philosophy
Understood thus, the meaning of the most ancient and most holy Jewish prayer becomes entirely comprehensible: "Hear Oh Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one." The true significance of Abraham's seminal idea was one of singularity, of a recognition of the unity of existence.
It is inherent in the social nature of humankind that humans must establish conventions by which to live peaceably together ("No man is an island, unto himselfe" wrote John Donne).
In my opinion, such questions are moot, because they stem from erroneous assumptions; for example, that there is a "we" to consider apart from the rest of reality, that there was a beginning, and that there will be an end.

 Plekhanov: Monist View of History (Chap.1)
Holbach is rescued from this circle by an imaginary bon prince, who was desired by all the writers of the Enlightenment, and who, appearing like deus ex machina, solved the contradiction, improving both manners and constitution.
Therefore the most consistent and most profound thinkers were always inclined to monism, i.e., to explaining phenomena with the help of some one main principle (monos in greek means “one”).
One was a consistent idealist, the other a no less consistent materialist, but both were equally monistic; both one and the other equally well understood the worthlessness of the dualist outlook on the world, which up to this day is still, perhaps the most widespread.

He seems to have something of a neutral monist in the sense that he sees the two possibilities as essentiallydescribing the same thing 'world'.
It's hard to say from that, especially since there are so many different approaches to netural monism.
Normally a neutral monist wouldn't phrase qualia as a "problem" (neutral monists are normally methodological solipsists who would take qualia as clearer and better known than gray brain mush or brain state data printouts) and to talk of "two different ways of describing the world" seems more of a dual-aspect-esque approach (like Nagel)...

 The Center for Business Ethics (CBES)
But when we judge that another person's decision is immoral, we are implicitly recognizing that this person has selected an ethical theory to justify what they sense to be a dominant value in the situation.
The monist theory of utility fails for three reasons: it denies any significant competing non-monetary value to environmental features, it violates the first meta-ethic principle (fact vs. value: dollar amounts are merely factual and do not, in themselves, provide any moral value), and it is hopelessly anthropocentric.
Please note that I am not here asserting that our moral situations determine what is right.

 Plato, Phil. Dem., and Culture
Non-metaphysical positions can often be decided between by reference to their metaphysical foundations; some metaphysical positions are internally inconsistent in a self-defeating way.
In this light (if it is a light), Plato is not SIMPLY a monist of ANY kind, although he's also not NOT a monist of ALL kinds, since he accounts for the justification of any valid monism.
As I read him, his position consists in an account of the nature of thinking itself, without presupposing the validity of any particular framework.

My goal is not to argue that an interpretation based on an Everett-type theory is preferable to a Bohmian quantum cosmology; I shall instead confine myself to the preliminary task of presenting a coherent and reasonably detailed Everett-type interpretation.
The "gradual emergence of time" will be taken to imply that in part of the "join" region it is neither true nor false that there is time; time is vague in part of this region.
Furthermore, the position taken by Isham implies that his two articles should not be understood as they are commonly understood by philosophers, namely, as providing an ontological interpretation of these models.

The Monist League members reasoned therefore, that certain races were more fit than others and would necessarily 'win out' over 'inferior' races and that this was not just a description of the way things were but a trait to be desired.
Since in their opinion, Darwinism was the best description of this, they sought to promote a concept of society in which the principles of natural selection and general adaptation syndrome were applied to human selection and interaction: survival of the fittest, therefore, was a social, racial and breeding principle which was natural.
Haeckel, the Chair of Biology at the University of Jena in pre-Nazi Germany who went on to influence most Reich Racial Scientists and Eugenicists worldwide, was founder and head of the "Monist League".
