The Absolute (in philosophy)

In philosophy, "The Absolute" refers to an ultimate, unconditioned reality or truth that is all-encompassing, infinite, and unchanging. It is considered the fundamental source or ground of everything that exists, beyond all illusions, distinctions, or limitations. Think of it as the ultimate truth or reality that transcends individual things and concepts, embodying perfect unity and completeness. Various philosophical and spiritual traditions explore The Absolute as the highest reality—sometimes called God, the universe, or pure consciousness—representing the ultimate nature of existence.
