WHAT DOES MONISTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Monism

Monism is the philosophical view that a variety of existing things can be explained in terms of a single reality or substance. The wide definition states that all existing things go back to a source which is distinct from them. A commonly-used, restricted definition of monism asserts the presence of a unifying substance or essence. One must distinguish "stuff monism" from "thing monism". According to stuff monism there is only one kind of stuff, although there may be many things made out of this stuff. According to thing-monism there exists strictly speaking only a single thing, which can only be artificially and arbitrarily divided into many things. In contrast to monism, are metaphysical dualism and metaphysical pluralism. The term monism originated from Western philosophy, and has often been applied to various religions.
