Absolute (philosophy)

In philosophy (often specifically metaphysics), the absolute, in most common usage, is a perfect, self-sufficient reality that depends upon nothing external to itself. In theology, the term is also used to designate the supreme being.

For the doctrine of absolute truth, see Universality (philosophy). For other uses, see Absolute (disambiguation).
