Epistemology
Material-world knowledge is individual.
Ethics
God knows everything but does not cause or force human behavior.
Metaphysics
God is the only substance. Things are in God. Individuals are part of the whole and can passively receive universals, truth, and reason from God. All matter thus unifies. Matter holds its Form inside itself. Matter has eternal motion, without outside force.
