PANLOGISM. - From Gr. πᾶν, all, and λόγος, reason, it is "the doctrine according to which everything that is real is wholly intelligible and can be constructed by the spirit according to its own laws" (A. Lalande, Vocab. techn. et critique de la philos., 5th ed., Paris 1947, pp. 713-14); or also, more precisely, the doctrine that resolves all reality into spirit as a logical-rational process. In this sense the term, coined by J. E. Erdmann, was by him referred (Versuch einer wissenschaftl. Darstellung d. Gesch. d. neuer. Philos., III, part 2, Leipzig 1853) to the Hegelian system, which posits Reason as the supreme and only true reality (v. HEGEL). In its now fairly frequent use the term is extended to Neo-Hegelian currents. While the reference to Hegelianism appears justified, the identification of panlogism with idealism (v.) is, on the other hand, in many respects inexact.
