monism
All is one
Monism is the philosophical view that reality consists of only one fundamental substance or principle.
This contrasts with dualism, which posits two (typically mind and body), and pluralism, which admits many.
In metaphysics, monism might hold that everything is matter, or everything is mind, or everything is one unified whole.
His monism led him to reject any sharp distinction between the physical and the mental.
