- Sep 30Paul, put briefly, I believe this is not Hegel's broadest view of things. I don't object to the claim that "Finite spirit is a moment in the Reality of God." In fact I claim that the finite is a moment in everything, and the infinite is a moment likewise of everything. As self-determination of the concept.So, for a Christian with restricted vision, the Idea releasing itself into nature appears to be of necessity God as the ground. Hegel was a different kind of Christian. He recognized that what appears to the Christian as the true religion and the original doctrine of speculative philosophy -- and what appears to Hegel even as the "consummate religion" -- is still only religion. Religion isn't a small thing for Hegel, but it isn't the Absolute Idea.Bill

Bill,Hegel clearly states -- in explicit terms -- that the Finite spirit is a moment in the Reality of God. He says this in his LPEG, in the section on the Cosmological Proof of God's Existence.God, the Ground of Being, provides a Ground for all finite beings to emerge from the Ground, endure for a time, and then return to that same Ground.Thus, the Finite spirit is a moment in the Reality of God.We covered this last year, I think. I can dig out the page number if you like.All best,--Paul=============================================On Sunday, September 29, 2019, 02:52:53 PM CDT, bill.hord bill.hord@...
