1. finitude

   In philosophy and theology, infinity is explored in articles under headings such as the Absolute, God, and Zeno's 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 (ἄπειρον, apeiron). The Jain metaphysics and mathematics were the first to define and delineate different "types" of infinities. The work of the mathematician Georg Cantor first placed infinity into a coherent mathematical framework. Keenly aware of his departure from traditional wisdom, Cantor also presented a comprehensive historical and philosophical discussion of infinity. In Christian theology, for example in the work of Duns Scotus, the infinite nature of God invokes a sense of being without constraint, rather than a sense of being unlimited in quantity.

1. finitude

   Finitude is the quality or state of being finite, limited, or having boundaries. It is often used in existential philosophy to refer to the limitations on a person's life, including the inevitability of death. In mathematics, it refers to the concept of having a specific, countable amount of elements. In a general sense, it denotes anything that is not infinite or endless.
