The infinite (The Problems of philosophy)

This historical study of the inifinite covers all aspects, from the mathematical to the mystical. Beginning with an entertaining account of the paradoxes of the infinite, Moore traces the history of the topic from Aristotle to Kant, Hegel, Cantor, and Wittgenstein with a crisp summary of Godel's proof. Moore concludes with a moving discussion of the connection between human finitude and the ineffable. 268 pages.
