According to a commonplace, [[Judaism]] (and [[Islam]]) is a "pure" [[monotheism]], while [[Christianity]], with its Trinity, is a compromise with polytheism; [[Hegel]] even designates Islam as THE "religion of sublimity" at its purest, as the universalization of the Jewish monotheism: "In Mohammedanism the limited principle of the Jews is expanded into universality and thereby overcome. Here, God is no longer, as with the Asiatics, contemplated as existent in immediately sensuous mode but is apprehended as the one infinite sublime Power beyond all the multiplicity of the world. Mohammedanism is, therefore, in the strictest sense of the world, the religion of sublimity."<ref>G.W.F. Hegel, <i>Philosophy of Mind</i>, Oxford: Clarendon Press 1971, p. 44.</ref>
