Mon"ism (m&obreve;n"&ibreve;z'm or
mō"n&ibreve;z'm), n. [From Gr.
mo`nos single.] 1. (Metaph.)
That doctrine which refers all phenomena to a single ultimate
constituent or agent; -- the opposite of dualism.

&fist; The doctrine has been held in three generic forms: matter
and its phenomena have been explained as a modification of mind,
involving an idealistic monism; or mind has been explained by
and resolved into matter, giving a materialistic monism; or,
thirdly, matter, mind, and their phenomena have been held to be
manifestations or modifications of some one substance, like the
substance of Spinoza, or a supposed unknown something of some
evolutionists, which is capable of an objective and subjective
aspect.
