Excerpt from The Problem of Space in Jewish Mediaeval Philosophy Leaving the question' whether space is infinite in division, we may ask whether space is infinite in extent. We conceive a thing when we know it or seem to know it definitely, while infinity carries with it an indefinite and indeterminate element, which admits of no conception. A definite knowledge of a thing implies the ability to compare it to others and distinguish it from others. But the infinite is incomparable and indistinguishable. Yet, on the other hand, if space is finite and bounded, the question is: By what is it bounded? What is beyond its boundary? And what if a thing were to be carried beyond the realm of space, would it shrink into nothingness? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
