Gottfried Leibniz s theory of pre established harmony lang fr harmonie pr tablie is a philosophy philosophical theory about Causality causation under which every substance only affects itself, but all the substances both bodies and minds in the world nevertheless seem to causally interact with each other because they have been programmed by God in advance to harmonize with each other. Leibniz s term for these substances was Monad philosophy monad s which he described in a popular work Monadology 7 as windowless . An example An apple falls on Alice s head, apparently causing the experience of pain in her mind. In fact, the apple does not cause the pain the pain is caused by some previous state of Alice s mind. If Alice then seems to shake her hand in anger, it is not actually her mind that causes this, but some previous state of her hand. Leibniz s theory is best known as a solution to the mind body problem of how mind can interact with the body. However, Leibniz also rejected the idea of physical bodies affecting each other, and explained all physical causation in this way. Under pre established harmony, the preprogramming of each mind must be extremely complex, since only it itself causes its own thoughts or movements, for as long as it exists. In order to appear to interact, each substance s program must contain a description of either the entire universe, or of how the object is to behave at all times, during all interactions which will appear to occur. It can also be noted that if a mind behaves as a windowless monad, there is no need for any other object to exist in order to create that mind s sense perceptions, leading to a solipsism solipsistic universe consisting only of that mind. Leibniz seems to admit this in his Discourse on Metaphysics section 14. However, he claims that his Principle of Harmony , according to which God creates the best and most harmonious world possible, dictates that the perception s internal states of each Monad philosophy monad expresses ... more details
