To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
Affirmative infinity, which sublates finitude within itself. Not "beyond" the finite, but the "return to itself in the other." The structure of self-relation. Example: the circle (finite in its line, infinite in its movement).
Origin: Spinoza (substance as causa sui). Hegel (dialectic of finite/infinite).
In Hegel: Enz. §95; SL Vol. 1, Doctrine of Being, Quality
