Sure Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was a German philosopher and mathematician known for his metaphysical views, which included the concepts of "monads," "matter," and "extension." Let's explore his ideas regarding matter and extension: 1. Matter in Leibniz's Philosophy: - Leibniz rejected the traditional notion of matter as extended substance (material substance with physical properties like size, shape, and mass). Instead, he proposed the idea of "monads" as the ultimate constituents of reality. - Monads are indivisible, immaterial, and non-spatial entities that possess perceptions or "representations" of the entire universe. They are distinct centers of perception and activity. Example: Think of monads as tiny, non-physical consciousnesses that make up everything in the universe. Each monad reflects the entire universe from its unique perspective, like a mirror reflecting the whole world. 2. Extension in Leibniz's Philosophy: - Leibniz's rejection of material substance meant that he did not attribute extension (physical dimensions like length, width, and height) to matter in the traditional sense. Instead, he argued that extension was a phenomenon perceived by monads but not inherent to them. Example: In Leibniz's view, what we perceive as the extension of an object is a result of the interactions between countless monads, each representing a part of that object. The apparent extension of a table, for instance, arises from the collective perceptions and relations of monads. In summary, for Leibniz, matter was not composed of extended substance as in the classical understanding of materialism. Instead, he proposed the concept of monads, non-extended, immaterial entities that collectively give rise to our perception of extension in the physical world. This view represents a departure from the materialist understanding of matter and extension that was prevalent in his time. Leibniz's philosophy is often associated with his unique metaphysical system, which sought to reconcile the existence of a spiritual, non-material realm with the physical world.
Though all Monads are active so we cannot see the qualitative difference between them. In this view they are alike. But quantitative difference between them is manifested on the basis of manifestation of activity. So we can classify them into the following classification. 1. Naked Monads Least active so they are called sleeping Monads too. This is the state of material world 2. Sub-conscious or dreaming Monads Active but don’t move. Activity cannot be manifested as Plants 3.Conscious Monads Clear activity is manifested as animals and birds 4. Self-Conscious-Monads Clear activity as they have feelings. 5. Supreme Monad or Queen Monad God, Monad of all Monads and the soul of all Monads. He is the cause and creator of all Monads. Every monad’s ultimate aim is to become supreme Monad. God is completely active Monad.
Estimate: Russell says that Monadology fits ill with the concept of god. All Monads are both active and passive, but God is pure activity. God cannot create Monad as he is himself a Monad and so Windowless. If every Monad is independent or self-dependent and windowless then it is illogical to say each Monad reflects the condition of other Monads and they are regulated by Pre-Established Harmony. If Monads are guided by Pre-Established Harmony then, they will lose their status of substance.

Monads are infinite then why they are classified in 5 parts plz ans sir.....
Though all Monads are active so we cannot see the qualitative difference between them. In this view they
are alike. But quantitative difference between them is manifested on the basis of manifestation of activity.
So we can classify them into the following classification.
1. Naked Monads
Least active so they are called sleeping Monads too. This is the state of material world
2. Sub-conscious or dreaming Monads
Active but don’t move. Activity cannot be manifested as Plants
3.Conscious Monads
Clear activity is manifested as animals and birds
4. Self-Conscious-Monads
Clear activity as they have feelings.
5. Supreme Monad or Queen Monad
God, Monad of all Monads and the soul of all Monads. He is the cause and creator of all Monads. Every
monad’s ultimate aim is to become supreme Monad. God is completely active Monad.
Hey sir!! Firstly i want to say that you explain very well....and i cannot understand the last topic estimate..can you please elaborate once??
Sure
I will
Okay!!when will you do?
Sir please can you elaborate once
Tomorrow is my exam
Estimate:
Russell says that Monadology fits ill with the concept of god. All Monads are both active and passive, but
God is pure activity.
God cannot create Monad as he is himself a Monad and so Windowless.
If every Monad is independent or self-dependent and windowless then it is illogical to say each Monad
reflects the condition of other Monads and they are regulated by Pre-Established Harmony. If Monads
are guided by Pre-Established Harmony then, they will lose their status of substance.
