thumb|The circled dot was used by the Pythagoreans and later Greeks to represent the first metaphysical being, the Monad or The Absolute. Monism attributes oneness or singleness () to a concept, such as to existence. Various kinds of monism can be distinguished: Priority monism states that all existing things go back to a source that is distinct from them; e.g., in Neoplatonism everything is derived from The One. In this view only the One is ontologically fundamental or prior to everything else. Existence monism posits that, strictly speaking, there exists only a single thing, the universe,
Monism is the philosophical idea that reality is fundamentally one—either that everything comes from a single source (like "The One" in ancient philosophy), or that only one thing actually exists. It matters because it addresses fundamental questions about the nature of existence and whether the many things we perceive are ultimately connected to or derived from a single underlying reality.
