Abstract

This article is not yet published. It is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed. This theoretical article provides insight into the concept of Person behind Dyadic communication, starting from the well-known Leibniz's theory of monads as self-contained and autonomous entities. Leibniz's theory of monads represents a complex and innovative attempt to reconcile the principles of rationalism, metaphysics, and theology. Even though his conception of monads has faced criticism and debate, it remains a significant contribution to the history of philosophy and continues to inspire scholarly inquiry and interpretation. For example, this article will also offer an exemplification for teaching purposes, illustrating monads in society as cells immersed in interstitial liquid. On the other hand, dyadic communication highlights the dynamic and interdependent nature of human interaction, where meaning is co-constructed through mutual engagement and exchange. This paper will analyse the implications of monadology for the perception of individual identity and isolation, with its philosophical perspectives on relationality (Philosophy of Relational Existence), and discuss the nature of existence and subjectivity intersect with interpersonal dynamics. The transition from Leibniz's monads to dyadic communication reflects a broader shift from a metaphysical framework focused on isolated substances to a relational perspective highlighting interaction and communication between entities. Furthermore, this article, in an unusual and at least daring attempt at interdisciplinary comparison between this philosophical background and the Subnuclear Physics Theory of Quantum Mechanics (Einstein, Heisenberg, et al.), in conjunction with the theory of the Pygmalion Effect of Rosenthal, will try to explain the methodological difficulties of the analytical measurement of this form of communication. It will conclude with the role of philosophy in sociological research.
