The Fascination With the Infinite

In all sorts of ways, we ourselves are finite. And I think our fascination with the infinite comes from a vague sense that there is something out there that contrasts with our own finitude. But what's out there, whatever form it may take, whatever it might be like, is ultimately unconstrained and unlimited. Most philosophers who got interest in the infinite were talking not just about an abstract mathematical concept but about the nature of God.
