English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The word was coined by German philosopher Baron Christian von Wolff and first used in English in 1862, from New Latin monismus, from Ancient Greek μόνος (mónos, “alone”). By surface analysis, mon- + -ism.
Noun[edit]
monism (countable and uncountable, plural monisms)
- (philosophy, religion) The doctrine of the oneness and unity of reality, despite the appearance of diversity in the world.
- Synonym: one-thingism
- (historical, politics) The doctrine that there is a single source of political authority, especially that the church is subordinate to the state or vice versa.
- 1964, Karl F. Morrison, Two Kingdoms: Ecclesiology in Carolingian Political Thought, Princeton University Press, page 4:
- The same conflict between the monism of temporal theorists and the dualism of ecclesiastical thinkers—the same opposition of organic to symbiotic union—occurred in the ninth century.
