15 The activity of the internal principle which produces change or passage from one perception to another may be called Appetition. It is true that desire [l』appetit] cannot always fully attain to the whole perception at which it aims, but it always obtains some of it and attains to new perceptions.

我們這裡所要談論的「單子」，不是別的而是構成複合物的單純實體，「單純」指的是「沒有部分」。（參見《神正論》第10節）
