	Monism
		Either God is indwelling in the universe as a part of it, not distinct from it (pantheistic Immanentism), or the universe does not exist at all as a reality (Acosmism), but only as a manifestation or phenomenon of God.
		These views are vigorously combated by Theism, not only on considerations of logic and philosophy, but also on considerations of human life and conduct.
		All these forms of epistemological Monism - namely, idealism, solipsism, acosmism, and absolutism - have, of course, metaphysical bearings, and sometimes rest on metaphysical foundations.

	PANTHEISM,
		The most typical presentations of acosmic pantheism come from the Hindu tradition, the greatest philosophical exponent of which was the Indian philosopher Sankara (fl.
		The difficulties of acosmism are visible in his system: tendencies to deny the full reality of the changing finite, to deny the reality of evil, to deny the reality of freedom and chance, and to see individual personality as ultimately unreal.
		In Western thought, the Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza is the greatest exponent of a position that is almost unqualifiedly pantheistic.

	PANTHEISM--PROF. BEARDSLEY
		This denial of reality to the world of distinct finite entities has sometimes been called "acosmism." If it seems surprising or even shocking to say that the cosmos is an illusion, you should nevertheless try to understand the idea as well as you can before judging it.
		Although by far its most significant development has been in Hinduism, acosmism is by no means absent from Western religious thought, where it appears in the writings of certain mystics.
		The acosmism of Hindu thought is thus more extreme, for (hi the Vedanta form, at least) the individual soul has no reality at all apart from Brahman.

	Davide's Notes: Jonas' Gnosticism
		This is more or less a summary of ideas found in the article Hans Jonas' construct "Gnosticism": Analysis and Critique, by M. Waldstein (2000).
		Jonas: an existential interpretation of Gnosticism as the expression of a unitary "Spirit of Late Antiquity" defined by Entweltlichung (acosmism).
		This Entweltlichung got wide acceptance: it gave some way to unify systems that were lacking some clear unity, under a generic umbrella: the "existential attitude of human beings who created the systems."

	FROM SPINOZA
		Because Spinoza’s philosophy denies the existence of the cosmos, Hegel refers to it as an "acosmism." Acosmism has a negative and a positive element, as Parkinson recognizes.
		The positive element in Spinoza’s acosmism is the view that what does exist, is God, to whom everything is reducible.
		Because of this, Parkinson is incorrect when he maintains that Hegel mistakenly assimilates Spinoza’s philosophy to that of Schelling, and to the thought of the East.

	The Shortcomings of the Monistic Paradigm
		Pantheism limits the Divine to the cosmos and the world of relativity, whilst Acosmism, in an effort to preserve the immutability of the Godhead, reduces the world to mere illusion.
		Panentheism means that God includes the Cosmos (Pantheism) but also transcends it (Acosmism).
		But the Godhead in its transcendent nature is infinite, eternal, unchanging, etc etc (Acosmism).

	Concerning Music in Our Churches - Catholic Online
		On the other hand, if we were considering only the “music”, characterized earlier as being an embellishment because of its emptiness, without its beat scheme, we would quickly understand that it has no substance, devoid of surprise and imagination.
		It would easily suffer the comparison of Plutarq’s acosmism where we conceive an original uncreated disorder in which the elements of the cosmos have to be ordered, or organised, to exist.
		We should expatiate upon the Christian Contemporary Music of the Protestant churches, saying that even if there are no drums or amplified bass, the beat scheme remains due to syncopation.

	Buddhist Philosophy Syllabus Grupp
		Although in the Eastern world there is not such a big difference made between philosophy and religion as there is in the West, in this class I will specifically make an attempt to nevertheless remain entirely philosophical.
		There will consequently be emphasis on consciousness, God and atheism, multidimensional reality, nirvanic meditation techniques, nirvanic "observation," the philosophy of poverty and political anarchism, string theory and Buddhist similarities in philosophical physics, the philosophy of monkhood, nothingness, mereological nihilism, political nihilism, energy, acosmism, Tibetan extraterrestrials, atomism, to give a few examples.
		There will be no coverage of religious issues, such as ritual behavior, belief systems, spiritualism, ritual and religious symbols, and so on.

	Max Weber & World Denying Love by Robert Bellah - AAR article
		Kaesler has helped me sort out the sources of the term in Spinoza, Fichte, and Hegel, and has pointed out that for Feuerbach the acosmism of Christianity was a great defect and point of criticism (Kaesler 1997; Feuerbach 1957).
		Because of this, class societies are unable to satisfy the need for legitimation that they themselves generate" (1979:163).
		For a less scholarly but most interesting discussion that shows the indelible connection of religion and politics in early Israel, see Walzer.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Ideas & Belief: The Theology of Chabad
		The Chabad thinkers stop short of saying that the world is an illusion, as in some varieties of Far Eastern thought, since such a view would tend to deny the reality of the practical laws and observances of the Torah which only have meaning in a real world.
		Instead, the distinction is drawn between the universe from God's point of view and the universe from our point of view, a concept difficult to grasp, and one which renders opaque the meaning of "real." The Chabad view is basically one of acosmism ("there is no universe") or panentheism ("all is in God").
		Shneur Zalman gives the illustration of the sun and its rays.

	OEDILF
		Acosmism is a term coined by Hegel to defend Spinoza from accusations of being an atheist.
		To be more precise, acosmism denies the dualism of a Creator and a separate creation; the world is not what it seems to be.
		To deny the existence of the world totally would be "noncosmism."
