Excerpt from Typical Modern Conceptions of God: A Thesis
The last statement, taken by itself, might con vey the impression that the finite individual] and the absolute f are the same. But it is abundantly evident from a consideration of the Science of Knowledge, the Science of Rights, and the System of Ethics that the absolute is the impersonal and universal Intelligence which is immanent in and gives reality to the entire activity of the finite 1's in all their relations, active and passive. More over, this universal I is ceaseless activity, actus purus, absolute rational will. It is the only reality, for the sense-world has no reality in itself. Fichte's system is not solipsistic, but acosmistic. The idea of the absolute is, when viewed from the practical standpoint, the idea of God.3 gthe pure] is posited outside ourselves, and called God.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of how significant post-Kantian philosophers developed their ideas concerning God. The author begins with an overview of Hegel's notion of the Absolute Idea as the culmination of Being. From here, he examines Fichte's development from a Kantian ethicist to a mystic who believed in God as the immanent ideal of the ethical life. Finally, the author discusses Schopenhauer's pessimistic metaphysics, which depicts existence as an endless cycle of suffering due to the domination of the irrational Will over reason. This book provides an invaluable resource for understanding the evolution of philosophical thought on God after Kant, offering insights into the complex and fascinating ways these philosophers grappled with the nature of the divine.
