Monism is a philosophical concept arguing that all of reality is composed of a single substance or principle.

It counters dualism and pluralism, both of which claim that reality is made up of multiple fundamental aspects rather than one.

Materialism asserts that everything is physical, while idealism states that everything is mind or spirit.

Neutral monism takes a different path, claiming that reality is neither mental nor physical but instead consists of a third, more fundamental type.

There is also existence Monism, which says only one entity exists, and

priority Monism, which argues the universe as a whole, is fundamental with its parts depending on it.

Together, these views offer unique perspectives on the nature of the universe.
