Hegel regards the Absolute as a spiritual unity And spirit
63
And it would be a Personality entirely unlike ours
64
Examples of this
70
The Absolute could be called a Person if we extended
85
Such a unity is not found in the Absolute And it is this

The same continued

CHAPTER VII
177
And need involve no higher category than Absolute Mecha nism
182
Although the end of Society is human wellbeing it does not follow that it lies within Society
183
Illustrations of this
185
Is Society the end of man? The ideal Society of heaven is but not our present Society on earth
187
Nor ought our present Society to be our end
188
For in progressing through it our relation to it is often negative
189
Arguments in support of this statement
190
The intrinsic relations of parts to the whole as proved
192
Earthly Society does not always improve or deteriorate in proportion as its unity increases or diminishes
193
Philosophy can afford us no guidance in acting on Society
195
Nor is it to be expected that it should do so
196
CHAPTER VIII
197
The definition of Christianity
198
of God The Primary and Secondary Triads
199
He identifies the distinctions of the Secondary Triad with those of the Trinity
201
But the Secondary Triad forms part of a dialectic process
202
And therefore the Synthesis expresses its whole reality
204
The Personality of God Hegels statement of the Primary Triad
205
But for Hegel God is incarnate in everything finite
217
And all the reality of everything finite is only its Incarnation of God
218
Hegels demonstration for the necessity of the Incarnation being typified in a particular man
219
Why the typification in several men would be unsatisfactory
220
For Hegel this typification is a necessity to be regretted
221
Why Jesus should be taken as the typenot because of his personal perfection
222
But because he bears witness to the metaphysical truth of the Unity of God and Man
223
But the Unity is asserted merely immediately
224
And the Unity asserted is itself immediate and therefore only one side of the truth
226
82
227
In what sense the position of Jesus was determined by the choice of the Church
228
Hegels view of Jesus is at all events not the usual Chris tian view
229
Hegels statement of the doctrine of Original Sin
230
The consequences of this doctrine as held by Hegel
232
This doctrine may be true and may be Christian but it is by no means specially Christian
233
And he regards Sin as at any rate superior to Innocence
234
Hegels statement of the doctrine of Grace
236
This doctrine again is not specially Christian
237
Hegel would seem to attribute the doctrine of Grace to Jesus and that of Original Sin to his successors
238
As to moralityits commands and prohibitions are much the same for Hegel as for Christianity
239
b to Conscience
240
c to Immortality
241
d to Purity of Motive
242
f Moreover the ideas of humility and contrition for sin have for Hegel only a relative validity
243
Summary of results
245
Nor can it be attributed to a sympathy for the life and character of Jesus
246
The explanation is to be found in his definition of Religion as something which cannot give absolute truth
247
His meaning will be that no Religion can ever give a closer approach to absolute truth than is given by Christianity
248
And if Hegels philosophy is true it must be admitted that no Religion has approximated to the truth as closely as Christianity
249
Historical confirmation of this view
250
CHAPTER IX
252
The practical importance of the third stage
253
The subject of the present chapter
254
In which the question Why is the Universe as a whole what
257
The nature of perfected Knowledge
260
For a the duality between Knowledge and Volition cannot
263
The perfected state of Spirit could not be mere Feeling
269
The element of the NotSelf prevents this
276

This nature cannot be found in Knowledge or Volition

Its extent

Seite 215 - Man knows God only in so far as God Himself knows Himself in Man. This knowledge is God's self-consciousness, but it is at the same time a knowledge of God on the part of Man, and this knowledge of God by Man is a knowledge of Man by God. The Spirit of Man, whereby he knows God, is simply the Spirit of God Himself.
Seite 65 - Plainly for this reason, that it is an immediate certainty that what is greatest, most beautiful, most worthy is not a mere thought, but must be a reality, because it would be intolerable to believe of our ideal that it is an idea produced by the action of thought but having no existence, no power, and no validity in the world of reality.
Seite 207 - And they placed them on the heavenly tablets, each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the third to the fourth.
Seite 154 - Man, which is superficially represented as a state of innocence, is the state of nature, the animal state. Man must be culpable ; in so far as he is good, he must not be good as any natural thing is good, but his guilt, his will, must come into play, it must be possible to impute moral acts to him.
Seite 135 - Men do not become penitent and learn to abhor themselves by having their backs cut open. with the lash ; rather, they learn to abhor the lash.
Seite 67 - two notions of which one owes its whole content to its contrast with the other," but that does not prevent each of them from being meaningless without the other. 70. The Ego, therefore, would not necessarily become inexplicable, even if it could not be conceived except in relation to the Non-Ego. Can it be conceived otherwise ? Lotze answers this question in the affirmative, so far as the Infinite Being is concerned. It, he says, " does not need — as we sometimes, with a strange perversion of the...
Seite 66 - Perfect Personality is in God only, to all finite minds there is allotted but a pale copy thereof; the finiteness of the finite is not a producing condition of this Personality, but a limit and a hindrance of its development.
Seite 66 - This completely harmonises with the conclusion reached in the last chapter, that it was impracticable to regard a self as anything but a fundamental differentiation of the Absolute. But the question still remains whether it is not an essential part of the eternal, primary and underived nature of each self that it should be related to some reality outside it. Lotze further remarks that the " Ego and Non-Ego cannot be two notions of which each owes its whole content only to its contrast with the other;...
Seite 76 - What is our self — that obscure being, incomprehensible to ourselves, that stirs in our feelings and our passions, and never rises into complete self-consciousness ? The fact that these questions can arise shows how far personality is from being developed in us to the extent which its notion admits and requires. It can be perfect only in the Infinite Being which, in surveying all its conditions or actions, never finds any content of that which it suffers or any law of its working, the meaning and...
Seite 208 - God is infinite, Ego finite: these are false, objectionable expressions, forms that are inappropriate to the Idea, to the nature of the fact.. ..God is the movement to the finite. ..in the Ego, as that which is annulling itself as finite, God returns to himself, and only as this return is He God. Without the world God is not God4.
