As an experiencing monad your being is the irreducible core of the experiencing, most characteristically expressed in qualia and especially in the most private of these which is pain. The world then is the plurality of such monads all of which are radically equal in terms of experiencing being. Altruism, which is taken to be the essence of morality, is the result of a recognition that in respect of reality every monad is equal to every other monad, units of feeling, of qualia, are objective and directly comparable and every motive that fails to incorporate this understanding falls short of alignment with truth. This metaphysically over-determined morality which can dispense with any idea of Love or of the Good short-circuits the kind of morality which depends upon the difficult and dialectical discovery of the Other.
