We have here an updated version of Kant's criticism of the Leibnizian monad in the «Amphiboly» in the Critique of Pure Reason: the spatially situated existent is indeed made up of
relations rather than being a substance containing its «inhering» attributes internally as predicates which are part of its concept; only the
relations are no longer those of the synthetically connected manifold, but the relational connections between the particulars of modern functional or mathematical logic, expanded to include
within itself the
spatial and temporal
relations which Kant could only account for by means of the synthetic a priori.
