The Spinozist God as unrestricted nature, natura naturans, or the quasi Christian God of German Idealism, is consonant with the good as the vision of sovereign perfection and unity too intense for the individual mind to hold and where evil is subsumed under the cunning of the negative, all of this is not so far from a transcendental utilitarianism. Wat is omitted from this comprehending understanding is the call and the response, the non-sublatable moment that can only be encountered in a personal relation.
