On a New Type of Monadology

Abstract

In the article I develop some motives included in Nowa formuła monadologii [New formula of monadology] (Olsztyn 2004). I try to adopt the monadology to the results of contemporary science. It is to be a new type of monadology. I introduce: a new idea of the monad as an organizing activity, a notion of non-linear monadology, a notion of non-indeterministic monadology, a notion of anti-monad, a notion of macro-monad, and others. I refer to quantum darwinism of W. Żurek, the idea of symbiogenesis of Lynn Margulis, the theory of indeterministic chaos of I. Prigogine and the theory of self-organization of S. Kauffman. I propose a new interpretation of the Leibnizian notion of “harmonia praestabilita”.
