Finch, Coutu Speak
On Concept of God
Dr. Henry Finch, associate professor of philosophy, and Dr.
Walter Coutu, professor of sociology, gave the Hillel fireside dis
cussion series a rousing start Monday by probing the topic, “Toward
a Concept of God for Modern Man.”
Rabbi Benjamin Kahn, director of the foundation, .moderated
before the overflow crowd during the three-hour session.
Coutu approached the topic by
I’tating - that the purpose of
a concept of God must be as a
guide to man in the good life,
and a motivating force. It must
be impersonal, he said, since the
concept itself must be felt per
sonally by each.
The “good man,” he said, im
mediately raises the problem of
values for which a “value system”
must exist. The origin of “value
systems,” he said, lies in the fact
that those who use symbols im
mediately experience differences
of opinion either quantitatively
or qualitatively. Systems of unify
ing symbols are then needed to
avoid conflict.
A concept of God thus repre
sents that unifying symbol which
represents in turn, all that the
human mind has fashioned of the
supremely honorable and good.
, Finch, claiming no “institution
al immunities” in his opening re
marks, declared that we must ac
cept certain basic assumptions if
we are to arrive at a true concept
of God. The method of experi
ment is the only source of con
trolled and tested knowledge
available to man, he said.
What is required for a concept
of God, he said, is, as Kant wrote,
a “regulative ideal,” a valid idea
in. accordance with which man
should act, formulated from
the best of our abilities and skill.
An omniscient and omnipotent
God is consistent with science,
Finch said, . for even if religion
was excluded from all events, the
religious life would be still at
tainable, a life oriented toward
ideals and not goals. Thus an ele
ment of transcendance is present,
for.this concept will only be at
tained with the skill of mankind.
I A verbal “Donnybrook” then
f'nsued between the speakers. Cou
tu proposed the question how a
“valid idea” could be an absolute
in the modem world, since it
would only remain valid in its
particular “value system.” Finch
answered that the distinction
must be drawn between the “valid
ideal” and the invention, and' it
must be asked what all cultures
are trying to do and how efficient
ly is each solution as an answer
to the problems of human living.
It cannot be said that all ideals
are of equal value, for the pro
jection, or “value system” can be
inadequate, he claimed.
