has gloss | eng: In philosophy, infinity can be attributed to space and time, as for instance in Kants first antinomy. In both theology and philosophy, infinity is explored in articles such as the Ultimate, the Absolute, God, and Zenos paradoxes. In Greek philosophy, for example in Anaximander, the Boundless is the origin of all that is. He took the beginning or first principle to be an endless, unlimited primordial mass (απιρον, apeiron). In Judeo-Christian theology, for example in the work of theologians such as Duns Scotus, the infinite nature of God invokes a sense of being without constraint, rather than a sense of being unlimited in quantity. In ethics infinity plays an important role designating that which cannot be defined or reduced to knowledge or power. |

has gloss | ita: Linfinito (dal latino finitus, cioè "limitato" con prefisso negativo in-, e solitamente denotato dal simbolo \infty, talvolta detto lemniscata) in filosofia è la qualità di ciò che non ha limiti o che non può avere una conclusione perché appunto infinito, senza-fine. Nella concezione cristiana il concetto coniato nellambito del pensiero greco trova la sua coincidenza con Dio stesso quale essere infinito. |

has gloss | nor: Evighet er et begrep om tid som aldri ender. Evighet brukes ofte i religiøse og filosofisk sammenhenger om et tidsrom uten begynnelse og slutt. For de fleste er den korrekte betydningen umulig å forstå. Siden tid er relativt, er det også likegyldig. |
