A Philosophical Path from Königsberg to Kyoto

"Mathematics is the science of the infinite, its goal the symbolic comprehension of the infinite with human, that is finite, means." Along this line, in The Open World, Hermann Weyl contrasted the desire to make the infinite accessible through finite processes, which underlies any theoreti...

520 |a "Mathematics is the science of the infinite, its goal the symbolic comprehension of the infinite with human, that is finite, means." Along this line, in The Open World, Hermann Weyl contrasted the desire to make the infinite accessible through finite processes, which underlies any theoretical investigation of reality, with the intuitive feeling for the infinite "peculiar to the Orient," which remains "indifferent to the concrete manifold of reality." But a critical analysis may acknowledge a valuable dialectical opposition. Struggling to spell out the infinity of real numbers mathematicians come to see the active role of emptiness. Pondering over the essence of self-awareness, the Japanese philosopher Nishida Kitarō comes to see the "place" where it abides as absolute nothingness. Thus, the two ways of seeing coalesce into a perspective in which infinity and nothingness mirror each other.
