This seems a vital issue since it clarifies the point that if the universe is a unity then mind-only and matter-only theories are wrong, In metaphysics we discover that they don't work which is suggestive and implies the unity of the universe. Leibnitz notes that a unity has no parts which would mean that a fundamental theory must reduce extension and we would end up where Kant ended up, most of the way to Plotinus and the perennial view of the Unity of All and the metaphysical unreality of time and space. . | |

Sorry for the confusion...hopefully this question is useful to someone in the future though. philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/52987/… | |
