Absolute,
``The Absolute" is a term used by philosophers to signify the ultimate reality regarded as one and yet as the source of variety; as complete, or perfect, yet as not divorced from the infinite, imperfect world.
The term was introduced into the philosophical vocabulary at the very end of the eighteenth century by Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling and Georg Wilhelm friedrich Hegel and was naturalized into English by Samuel Taylor Coleridge as early as 1809-1810 in the Friend. Later in the century it was an important term in the writings of such Idealist philosophers as James Frederick Ferrier, Francis Herbert Bradly, Bernard Bosanquet, and Josiah Royce.
One of the source of the philosophy of the absolute is Immanuel Kant`s doctrine of the Reason as the faculty that aims at unified knowledge of the Unconditioned`` to find for the conditioned knowledge of understanding the Unconditioned that completes its unity.
(Critique of pure reason)
I would prefer to use this word only to the being that is beyond all our knowledge whom I call``GOD".God is the absolute being for me.
