 Monad (philosophy)

Monad (from Greek μονάς "monas", "singularity" in turn from μόνος "monos", "alone") refers, in cosmogony, to the Supreme Being, divinity or the totality of all things.The concept was reportedly conceived by the Pythagoreans and may refer variously to a single source acting alone, or to an indivisible origin, or to both.
