Synopsis

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.
