A History of the Infinite
The infinite is one of the most important of all philosophical topics. The series of lectures will trace the history of thought about the infinite during the last two and a half thousand years from the perspective of the infinite in philosophical terms, in theological terms, in scientific terms, and in mathematical terms.
