An historical study of the infinite, covering all its aspects, from the mathematical to the mystical. Moore discusses not only Aristotle and Zeno, but also Cantor, Godel and Wittgenstein, and examines God, mortality and human finitude.
Anyone who has pondered the limitlessness of space and time, or the endlessness of numbers, or the perfection of God will recognize the special fascination of this question. Adrian Moore's historical study of the infinite covers all its aspects, from the mathematical to the mystical.
