Rather, there are arbitrarily large and arbitrarily small embodied beings. The monads are, of course, located at points, though they are not strictly and literally spatial entities, but every monad has a finite body. In fact, I don't think that for Leibniz the notion of an infinite or infinitesimal body even makes sense.Kenny Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561248709234656660noreply@blogger.com
