Hi Stephen P. King Leibniz's Idealism (LI) differs from dual-aspect monism (DAM) in that while both have corresponding domains of brain and mind, as I understand it, DAM is an overlay of brain and mind.
But LI feautures mind in Ideal space in the form of monads, each of which is like a homunculus, so that the Leibniz mind functionally includes the whole human-- heart, mind, soul, and body- as a whole. Thus intellect and feeling and body are not separated by barriers, but can act wholistically. The textbook example is that in LI mind can (although indirectly) influence body and body similarly the mind, with no logical problems such as arose from Descartes' dualism of mind and body. Dual aspect monism, as did descartes, simply ignores the subvstance dualism of mind and body as irrelevant to the progress of neuroscience. This issue of cartesiabn dualism is what caused L to formulate his monadic metaphysics. The monadic structure and the homunculus substructure create an entirely different picture of how mind operates and what it can do (nonlocality, clairvoyance, partial and individual clarity of communion with other minds and God, how intellect can cause dominion of one monad over another, the governmebnt of the universe and mind by God, etc. for example) And what self is, and how it participates in perception and action. Pratt and the other theorists afre completely unawafre of this fact that the universe is subjective. Roger Clough, rclo...@verizon.net 8/31/2012 Leibniz would say, "If there's no God, we'd have to invent him so that everything could function." ----- Receiving the following content ----- From: Stephen P.

Nice to see that many others are independently discovering the same idea. -- Onward!
