More recently, Michelle Grier offers some discussion of Spinoza as a possible historical source of the argument (M.
The problem with the dichotomy between existence monism and priority monism is that it presupposes as something common to both views the claim that existence does not come in degrees. Once we give up that assumption – and the PSR more or less dictates that we do – then the options for a monistic position in a rationalist context become richer.
