The Absolute And The Finite Individual

By A. Seth Pringle-Pattison and Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison

Book Overview

The Absolute And The Finite Individual is a philosophical book written by A. Seth Pringle-Pattison. The book explores the relationship between the infinite and the finite, and how this relationship is perceived and understood by individuals. The author delves into the concept of the Absolute, which is often seen as the ultimate reality or the divine, and how it relates to the finite individual, who is limited by their physical and mental capacities. Pringle-Pattison argues that the Absolute is not only a philosophical concept but also a personal experience, which can be accessed through different means such as religious practices, art, and nature. He also examines the different ways in which individuals perceive and relate to the Absolute, including through intuition, reason, and faith. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between the Absolute and the finite individual. The author draws on various philosophical and religious traditions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of this complex topic. Overall, The Absolute And The Finite Individual is a thought-provoking and insightful book that will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, religion, and spirituality. It offers a compelling perspective on the nature of reality and the human experience, and invites readers to reflect deeply on their own relationship with the Absolute.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Idea of God in the Light of Recent Philosophy, by A.
