Preestablished harmony
Preestablished harmony is Leibniz's contention that God had created the monads composing the universe in such a way that a continuous harmony existed among them. This explained why mental and bodily events were coordinated.
Likewise, Preestablished harmony is the belief that bodily events and mental events are separate but correlated because both were designed to run identical courses.
