It was this way with Leibniz and Spinoza, that everything fell under a One, an infinitely analyzable substance that, at the very limit, at the very edge, which only the intellect of God could understand, was the perfect synthesis and the completion of the entire universe. Its for that reason that I don't call myself a Hegelian, but at least I believe in something that Hegel saw in Kant: that the power of the infinite is not for some God in heaven infinitely distant from mankind, and we are just the poor image, his murky reflection. The end of the Phenomenology of Spirit is called "Absolute Knowing," and what is the truth of absolute knowledge? There it is, God became Man, and from "Out of the chalice of this realm of spirits / Foams forth to him his infinity." God is dead, and from that sovereign truth reigns the absolute knowledge that, in every action determined with full conscious intent, the infinite is grasped, the infinite power to determine world history!
Values? The horizon, the constellation of value, is like a net that ensnares that seed of power. One must be strong enough to break through value itself, to achieve the revaluation of all values. To take flight into the other side of infinity.
