28. God / B. Proving God / 2. Proofs of Reason / a. Ontological Proof

6913	God's existence cannot be separated from essence and concept, which can only be thought as existing [Feuerbach]
	Full Idea: God is the being in which existence cannot be separated from essence and concept and which cannot be thought except as existing.
	From: Ludwig Feuerbach (Principles of Philosophy of the Future [1843], §18)
	A reaction: This shows how faith in God endured through the Idealist movement by means of the Ontological Argument, despite the criticisms of Hume and Kant. To me this now appears as an odd abberation in the history of human thought.
