i admire Leibniz for the
Monad.
and although this is only a theoretical substance - and hence as ephemeral, shimmering, beautiful, and perhaps even more difficult to pick up than say, a chunk of STYLE - the theory of the monad posits a universal substance, and so belongs here with the base, inert, and ugly things that are easy to pick up, like a chunk of coal or steel... in the SUBSTANCE thread.
