The continuation monad is indeed CPS intentionally in disguise. Note however that monads are not limited to CPS or state threading. Monads have many other interesting uses and they present a powerful paradigm for adding features to functional semantics in a systematic and uniform manner. And even if the are absolutely about types (a monad is a type "lifting"), monads can very well be used in dynamically typed language. Unfortunately, very little has been written about them in scheme/lisp context.
