28. God / C. Attitudes to God / 2. Pantheism

7580	Pantheism destroys the distinction between good and evil [Kierkegaard]
	Full Idea: So called pantheistic systems have often been characterised and challenged by the assertion that they abrogate the distinction between good and evil.
	From: Søren Kierkegaard (Concluding Unscientific Postscript [1846], 'Lessing')
	A reaction: He will have Spinoza in mind. Interesting. Obviously this criticism would come from someone who thought that the traditional deity was the only source of goodness. Good/evil isn't all-or-nothing. A monistic system could contain them.
