In this article I try to illustrate the reasons why Husserl included such a metaphysically challenging concept as the monad in his phenomenology. I will first offer a brief historical reconstruction of that path that led Husserl to such an introduction, and then focus on some key features of the Husserlian monad (immortality and unbornness, epistemic substantiality, plurality of monads, and uniqueness of the objective world). I will finally turn to a reflection concerning the phenomenological tenability of Husserlian monadology and weigh its merits and shortcomings.
Monad, as a Concept in Phenomenology

Encyclopedic entry that outlines the conceptual journey that led Edmund Husserl to introduce the concept of monad in his phenomenology. The article highlights how this introduction aimed to achieve a systematic view of what is revealed when rigorously adopting the phenomenological perspective. However, the entry also sheds light on the limitations, aporias, and derailments associated with this concept. This exploration provides a critical examination of the monad’s role and implications in phenomenological thought, offering insights into both its potential and its problematic aspects when one tries to consider the ontological implications of the results obtained through a phenomenological stance.
