PHL217H1 Lecture Notes - Aufheben, Aristotelian Theology, Ontogeny
Document Summary
Not only have not not yet obtained the ultimate truth, we have not yet obtained an adequate manner for doing so, the actual standards by which we could know what is truth. Hegel like socrates showed our ignorance so that we can pursue knowledge. Showing us, what the ideal truth would be, and realizing that ideal truth must coincide. When we come to see what the ideal standard is for truth, we will have realized this very conception of truth. Thing thinking thinking versus spirits perfect self knowledge. Spirit must be knowledgeable of the spirit and it must acknowledge itself as spirit. With aristotle"s thinking thinking thinking, his definition if god, is that, god the thinking substance, only thinks, and in thinking, only thinks it"s own thoughts. God is the intellect incorporeal, it only thinks about ideal thoughts, and thus it thinks only of itself. God always thinks, and god always thinks ideal thoughts.
