The Conception of God

By Josiah 1855-1916 Royce and Josiah Royce

Book Overview

In "The Conception of God", Josiah Royce explores the nature of divine reality through a philosophical lens, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all existence. He presents God not merely as an external being, but as the ultimate unity of moral and spiritual values that emerge from the collective consciousness of humanity. Royce argues that understanding God involves recognizing the divine as an ideal toward which human actions and aspirations tend, fostering a sense of moral responsibility and community. His profound reflection invites readers to contemplate the divine as a dynamic, relational force that both shapes and is shaped by human endeavor and ethical growth. The Conception of God is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1897.
