Perspectivism, Monadology, Organism

Perspectivism has its roots in #57 of the Monadology, a work which has been more admired than influential.  Resistance to embracing it may reflect a pervasive Atomism, which Leibniz repudiates in #56, by positing the fundamental interrelatedness of all created beings.  However, the unity that grounds that interrelatedness is not some comprehensive living being, but a discrete creator.  Likewise, even though Whitehead characterizes the system as a "Philosophy of Organism", he does not extend the classification of Organism from Monads to some more comprehensive living being, e. g. to the Species, thereby preserving a recalcitrant Atomist dimension.
