It entailed that bodies, equated with «matter,» must be derivative from the ultimate psychical
constituents as composites of them, all the characteristics of «body» (extension, impenetrability, mobility, etc.)
as well
as the
passivity of «matter» being analyzable
as features displayed by composites of such psychical existents in relation.7 Apart from the particular difficulties in which Leibniz's theory is involved, such
as that it has the consequence that all relations must be phenomenal (thus necessitating his recourse to God
as the principle of pre-established harmony), the doctrine of panpsychism has a paradoxical consequence.
