Quick Summary

The Deutscher Monistenbund was a German organization founded in 1906 that promoted a worldview based on monism. Monism is a philosophical concept that posits there is only one kind of ultimate substance or that reality is a single, unified whole. This group sought to establish a secular, quasi-religious movement that embraced scientific principles and rejected traditional religious dogma. Their aim was to provide a comprehensive worldview that integrated scientific understanding with ethical and spiritual needs, often referred to as monistic idealism, which emphasizes the primacy of a unified reality.12
