Monadology and Society

Leibniz conceives a Monad as essentially connected to and reflecting the entire universe.  Entailed in that concept is that of a Monad as similarly related to an entire Society.  So, an important implication of the concept is that any Monad's perception of its Society is determined by the general conditions that obtain.  Accordingly, for example, the judgment of each member of a Society is adversely affected by a pervasive dysfunction, as Marxists, notably, recognize.  Similarly, on a Monadological basis, an Atomist denial of essential interrelatedness, a fundamental tenet in Capitalism, is itself an expression of a pervasive disassociation.
