Some basic principles of Leibniz's Idealism 1. Everything that exists has two aspects, essence (mind or monad) and existent (object). This is a localized version of Berkeley's overall Idealism. Essence, being mental, is outside of spacetime while the existent (a corporeal body) is inside of spacetime.
2. Essence is the subjective or mental aspect of existence, which in turn is objective and physical (in spacetime). For example. consciousness or experience is the mental aspect of physical sensory nerve signals. 3. Essence creates, perceives and controls existence. For example, essence is what causes a struck ball to follow Newton's law of motion. For example, tje mind controls the brain. Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (ret.)
