АБСОЛЮТ

The Absolute

Used in idealist philosophy to denote the eternal, infinite, unconditional, perfect and unchanging subject that is "complete in itself", has no dependence on anything else, contains within itself everything that exists, and creates everything that exists. In religion the Absolute is God; in Fichte's philosophy it is the ego; in Hegel's it is the universal principle, the absolute spirit; in Schopenhauer's it is will; in Bergson's it is intuition. Dialectical materialism rejects the concept of the Absolute as unscientific.
