Abstract
DEFINING a monad as any living organism which consists of only one cell, the author's thesis is that man is a community of monads, each of which is a conscious being, and that “human consciousness must consist of the combined and co-ordinated consciousness of the individual monads.” The theory is used to explain many facts concerning the nature of man as an individual and as a member of a social community.
