The Infinite and The Finite

The Infinite and The Finite is a philosophical treatise written by Theophilus Parsons. The book explores the concept of infinity and its relationship with the finite world. Parsons argues that the infinite is not simply a theoretical concept, but is actually present in the world around us. He examines the ways in which the infinite is expressed in mathematics, science, and philosophy, and how it is represented in various religious traditions. The book also delves into the limitations of the finite world and how it is connected to the infinite. Parsons proposes that by understanding the infinite and its relationship with the finite, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world and our place in it. The Infinite and The Finite is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to consider the nature of reality and the boundaries of human knowledge.1872. Whatever exists was created, excepting the Creator. If we go up with the ascending series of cause and effect, when we come to the summit we find that which was not caused; for if it were caused, we must go a step further to find its cause. And that which is at the summit, and is itself not caused, has the whole series below it, and must be the cause of all causation. The totality of being consists of Creator and created.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
