Even as to God every thing is open, and all truth is known, so also is man only then truly a spirit when he strives after truth and seeks cognoscitively to appropriate to himself all things.
Christian Ethics. Volume II.���Pure Ethics. 1819-1870 1873
-
This is a legitimate striving after possession, — after the possession of an inner world, a true copy of the real one; and it is among the most essential sources of the bliss of the perfected, that they know the truth and constantly appropriate to themselves cognoscitively more of it.
Christian Ethics. Volume II.���Pure Ethics. 1819-1870 1873
-
