Unity is beyond any doubt one of the most central concepts of Leibniz’s metaphysics. Although mostly connected by interpreters with a Platonic perspective (immaterial principles of true unity versus atomism), Leibniz’s theory of unity, in particular in the concept of unum per se, has strong Aristotelian roots, and Aristotelian texts and commentaries may be considered to represent a model for his treatment.

Abstract
Unity is beyond any doubt one of the most central concepts of Leibniz’s metaphysics. Although mostly connected by interpreters with a Platonic perspective (immaterial principles of true unity versus atomism), Leibniz’s theory of unity, in particular in the concept of unum per se, has strong Aristotelian roots, and Aristotelian texts and commentaries may be considered to represent a model for his treatment.
