Acosmism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Acosmism (from Greek a- (not) and kosmos (world)) ( doctrine of worldlessness ) is a doctrine that denies the world an independent reality .

The term is used in different meanings, mostly in the sense that the world is denied an independent reality in relation to divine reality. Then acosmism (God without a world) is understood as a conceptual opposite of atheism (world without God).

In a second meaning, a pure spiritualism that rejects reality to the outside world is called acosmism, and it means above all Berkeley . It is believed that Indian Vedanta philosophy represented an acosmism. According to some historians of philosophy, the Eleatics are also said to have represented an acosmism .

Philosophy History prominent is the qualification of the philosophy of Spinoza through Hegel as acosmism: in the interpretation of Hegel according to the teachings of Spinoza only the one infinite and indivisible substance (God) reality.

In the atheism dispute, Fichte defended himself against the charge of atheism by stating that he represented no atheism but an acosmism. His philosophy denies "the reality of the temporal and ephemeral ... in order to insert that of the eternal and immortal in all his dignity". His philosophy is not atheism, at most an acosmism: "If he calls me an acosmist, just don't call me an atheist: what I deny is completely different from what he thinks."

In his criticism of Hegel, FA Staudenmaier qualified his “logical pantheism” as “acosmism”. In Hegel, H. Krings speaks of a "progressive acosmism", in contrast to which Spinoza represented a "principle acosmism".

A. Franz regards the problem of acosmism as "not settled" if, along with Husserl and Heidegger, the term "world" is given a central meaning in philosophy.
