In this paper I examine a variant of the cosmological argument for the existence of God – the ‘proof from finitude’, and develop Georg W.F. Hegel’s intuitions on this issue. In conclusion, I point out the danger of confusing the cognitive order (the finite as a premise for “proving” the reality of the infinite) with the ontic order (the presumed dependence of the infinite – especially as realised in God – on the finite).
