Platonic monads of Leibniz

The read of Monadology of Leibniz(1646-1716), a British philosopher, we can understand that the Monads are alone the essence of Platon(428-348 b.Ch.) in this book titled Monadology, he has explained that: “The Monad, of which we shall here speak, is nothing but a simple substance, which enters into compounds. By ‘simple’ is meant ‘without parts”; but it is alone the essence of Platon, in every object is present the peculiar quality that let nature of that object, and every things in nature has his essence, but Leibniz had added that: “This particular series of changes should involve a multiplicity in the unit or in that which is simple. For, as every natural change takes place gradually, something changes and something remains unchanged; and consequently a simple substance must be affected and related in many ways, although it has no parts…The passing condition, which involves and represents a multiplicity in the unit or in the simple substance”, it is alone description of essence and nature of every living being, this is essence and nature of being. It is invisible and inextensible, and it change nature to all things. But it is alone speculative philosophy, because every things or being has his nature and essence; during past philosophy also Platon has spoken about essence and after Aristoteles has enlarged this concept, but Platon has certainly suggested to Leibniz, and Aristoteles has explained very well this concept, the essence of things and being; then nothing new, the essence is explained from 5^th century before Christ, Leibniz arrives late, very compliment.
