Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense

Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight.

In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am.

Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German.

Inside, you’ll learn:

What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis)

Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group project

How this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this)

What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left Leipzig

And why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimist

If you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you.

Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.
