BOSTROM, CHRISTOFFER JACOB (1797-1866)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 297 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOSTROM, CHRISTOFFER JACOB (1797-1866) , Swedish philosopher, was born at Pita, and studied at
Upsala
 , where from 1840 to 1863 he was professor of
practical
  philosophy. His philosophy, as he himself described it, is a thoroughgoing rational
idealism
  founded on the principle that the only true reality is spiritual. God is Infinite Spirit in whom all existence is contained, and is outside the limitations of time and space. Thus
Bostrom
  protests not only against empiricism but also against those doctrines of Christian theology which seemed to him to picture God as something less than Pure Spirit. In ethics the highest aim is the direction of actions by reason in harmony
with the Divine; so the state, like the individual, exists solely in God, and in its most perfect form consists in the harmonious obedience of all its members to a constitutional monarch; the perfection of mankind as a whole is to be sought in a rational orderly
system
  of such states in obedience to Universal Reason. This
system
  differs from
Platonism
  in that the " ideas " of God are not archetypal abstractions but concrete personalities.
Bostrom
 's writings were edited by H. Edfeldt (2 vols.,
Upsala
 , 1883). For his school see
SWEDEN
 : Literature; also H. Hoffding, Filosofien i Sverig (
German
  trans. in Philos. Monatsheften, 1879), and History of Mod. Philos. (Eng. trans., 190o), p. 284; R. Falckenberg, Hist. of Phil. (Eng. trans., 1895) ; A. Nyblaeus, Om den Bostromske filosofien (
Lund
 , 1883), and Karakteristik of den Bostromska filosofien (
Lund
 , 1892).
