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

18312	The supreme general but empty concepts must be compatible, and hence we get 'God' [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: The supreme concepts of philosophers cannot be incommensurate with one another, be incompatible with one another... Thus they acquired their stupendous concept 'God'.... The last, thinnest, emptiest is placed as the first, as cause in itself.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Twilight of the Idols [1889], 2.4)
