ACOSMISMO

Italian original Cite

ACOSMISM. - This name was used (by Hegel) to designate Spinoza's philosophical system concerning the nature and origins of the universe, insofar as he denies its existence as something distinct from God. A. was contrasted with atheism, since the denial of God was replaced by the denial of the cosmos as an actual reality, but at bottom it is identified with pantheism: in it God is in fact conceived no longer as a transcendent being, but as the sole universal substance that unfolds according to necessary attributes, resolving the world into itself.
