23031 | God is the ideal end of the mature mind's final development [Green,TH] |
Full Idea: God is a subject which is eternally all that the self-conscious subject as developed in time has the possibility of becoming. | |
From: T.H. Green (works [1875]), quoted by John H. Muirhead - The Service of the State I | |
A reaction: [Ethics p.197] Reminiscent of Peirce's account of truth, as the ideal end of enquiry. If God is a human ideal, we either limit God, or exaggerate our powers of idealisation. |
