| | Idealism |
 | | By shifting from the thoughts of an individual ego to the infinite reason of the Absolute, employing the notions of earlier monists to express the fundamental identity of the real with the rational, Schelling transformed German idealism. | | | As the self-conscious awareness of the Absolute, Hegel's philosophy unifies the sensibility of art and the objectivication of religion by regarding the dialectical logic of reason as the ultimate structure of reality. | | | Like the neoplatonic center of emanations or Spinoza's "god or nature," the Absolute is completely self-contained in essence and exclusively self-caused in operation. |

| | Idea versus Will |
| | Still the principle has in it the infinite 'elasticity' of the 'absolute' form', so as to overcome this depraving of the form-determination (and the content by these means), and to bring about the reconciliation of the spirit in itself. | | | However, the good is infinitely more than that - it is the absolute unity of form and matter. | | | However, the Absolute Rational Will is higher than the Absolute Spirit as the self-knowing Absolute Idea and has the latter as one of its moments, for its principle "Will yourself" is higher than the principle of Hegel's absolute idealism: "Cognise yourself." Realising that demands a major breakthrough in one's way of thinking. |

| | The Young Hegel by Georg Lukacs |
| | ‘Absolute identity is indeed the principle of speculation, but like his phrase M it remains no more than the rule whose infinite fulfilment is postulated but never carried out in the system.’[11] | | | For that reason, however, the absolute is the identity of identity and non-identity; both opposition and unity dwell in it at one and the same time. | | | As we shall see the urge to make the state of annulment into an absolute is also present in Hegel and where it makes itself felt it drags him down to the level of his predecessors. |

| | Intuitive Technology: Glossary of terms |
| | Practical experience indicates that the only true law is that there are no absolute laws, since all events are infinitely interlinked in the total field, and all cause/effect chains are subject to infinite regress. | | | No absolute analytic proof is possible, as all events are infinitely sensitive to initial conditions; 'ultimate forces' (magnetism and gravitation) and 'absolute constants' (Avogadro's Number, pi) are defined by circular self-reference on the lines of "they are what they are". | | | Unattainable in practice, due to the paradox of infinite regress of cause/effect chains. |

| | What exactly does Marx mean when he inverted Hegel's dialectic? |
| | From Understanding's point of view, the finite is in antithesis with the infinite but to have an antithesis, the finite also becomes an 'absolute' along with the infinite. | | | In explaining this, Hegel says: "The position taken up by the notion is that of absolute idealism. | | | It is often said that idealism means that the individual produces from himself all his ideas, even the most immediate. |

| | Infinite Sets: How Do Internal and External Observers View Infinite Sets? |
| | Infinitely small particles, relative to O, only occur in the next reference frame down from (smaller than) O and do not need to be considered as infinitely small in physical theories of human observer O's reference frame. | | | Because this set/dimension is defined as being infinite relative to O, any observer, such as P, of the same size scale as O, must also exist within the set/dimension; otherwise, the set/dimension would not be infinite. | | | These relationships all refer to the main result of this paper, which is that an observer's size relative to and view of an infinite set as particulate/discrete or continuous depends on that observer's reference frame relative to the infinite set. |

| | Quodlibet Online Journal: Preface to Totality and Infinity - by Val Petridis |
| | Levinas more extensively examines the infinite, unknowable unknown in Totality and Infinity as well as, giving a more in-depth explication of the transcendent experience caused by the face to face with the other which allows for the realization of the absolute otherness of the unknowable. | | | Thus, Levinas God is not a living God present everywhere, rather the omnipresence of the absolute other is the imminent realization of immanence of the ever present unknowable aspect of everything that is knowable and leads to the realization of the absolute other in the face to face with the other. | | | However, Levinas seems to also imply the unknown is always unknown and always stands outside the horizon of the known as the infinite unknown. |

| | Guilty as Charged? Leslie Armour's Prosecution of Hegel- Brian Lightbody- The Examined Life On-Line Philosophy Journal |
| | Armour charges that it is the metaphysical and epistemological notion of a bounded infinite, starting with Hegel, that has turned the true infinite into the finite, and thereby results in a rather dangerous doctrine that ultimately represses individual freedoms for the glory and purpose of the Absolute in all its myriad forms. | | | For, according to Armour, when one turns the infinite into the finite, the Absolute into the contingent, it is then political regimes come to think of themselves as unlimited both in their knowledge and in their powers. | | | However, for Armour, it is Hegel and his notion of a bounded infinite that manifests itself in finite historical form, which is to blame for this moral and political travesty. |

| | Infinity and Jesus' Humanity--Ummah.comComparative Religion |
| | To resolve this question, the different types of infinities are discussed: potential infinity, actual infinity, transfinite infinites, and absolute infinity. | | | Yet, it is entirely appropriate to ascribe absolute infinity to God because of God's infinite perfections in justice, holiness, goodness, truth, love, mercy, knowledge, power, etc. The term, eternal, with respect to Deity does not mean that God exists in infinite time. | | | Clearly, it is not appropriate to use a potential or an actual infinite with respect to Deity, because these types of infinites refer to physical or temporal entities, such as sets or as divisible continuums. |

| | Common Mistakes About God |
| | The absolute, infinite side is abstract and concerns the divine potentiality or capacity to have values, while the finitude or relativity concerns the divine actuality. | | | God contrasts with creatures, not as the merely absolute contrasts with the relative, but as the absolute-and-relative in uniquely excellent ways contrasts with the creatures as neither relative nor absolute, except in senses in which they are surpassable by others. | | | There is a real difference (illustrating complexity) between the absolutely unsurpassable cognitive perfection of God’s knowing, or the absolute rightness of the divine decision-making about the creatures, and the beauty of the actual, cosmic poem (the "verses" of which are partly self-decided) as divinely enjoyed. |

| | The determination of pure quantity belongs also to the ego which is an absolute becoming-other, an infinite removal or all-round repulsion to the negative freedom of being-for-self which, however, remains utterly simple continuity — the continuity of universality or being-with-self uninterrupted by the infinitely manifold limits, by the content of sensations, intuitions, and so forth. | | | The one-sided assertion of discreteness gives infinite or absolute dividedness, hence an indivisible, for principle: the one-sided assertion of continuity, on the other hand, gives infinite divisibility. | | | Infinitely more ingenious and profound than this Kantian antinomy are the dialectical examples of the ancient Eleatic school, especially those concerning motion, which likewise are based on the Notion of quantity and in it find their solution. |

| | The Metaphysics of the Dark Night of the Soul |
| | And this is to say that the distinction which obtains between the two --- between the finite soul, albeit participating in God, and the infinite God--- is already ontologically explicit. | | | And this is to say that, despite actual union, there is nevertheless an ontological discontinuity inherent in that union --- a discontinuity deriving from, and radicated in, the metaphysical inability of the finite to exhaustively comprehend, and therefore to comprehensively reflect, the totality of the infinite --- even as it participates within it. | | | But the distinction between the soul and God (as same) in the notion of participation relative to union is an internal ontological distinction implicit in the notion of the union of Absolute with contingent being as we have already seen, and as such becomes, not an absolute, but a relative distinction. |
