Hi, I am not quite sure what you mean by monistic. Could you explain this a bit more?
What does it mean to you if something is hypothetical? Is it used as "a possilble truth"? Or, are you using the word differently? What does it mean that knowledge is hypothetical? I think I am missing your point (hypothetically that is).
