Idealism
Dualism, which makes the opposition between the finite and the infinite, does not simply make the observation that in infinite fashion this is only one of the two terms and that by this it is reduced to something particular, to which the finite is the other particular. Such a finite, which is only private, which is beside the infinite, having within its boundary and its boundary, is not what it must be; he is not infinite, but only finite. In such a relationship, in which the finite is in one part and infinite in the other, the first placed here, the other beyond, is assigned to the finite the same dignity of subsistence and independence as the infinite; it is made of the finite being an absolute being; In such dualism, the being of

Here is the same thing that infinite progress expresses: once it is recognized that the finite is not in and for itself, that it is not a self-standing reality, nor an absolute being, but that it is only a passing thing;
On the other hand, this is immediately forgotten and the finite is presented only in opposition to the infinite, completely separate from it, and escaped the destruction, as it persists independently for itself. While thinking believes that this way ascends to infinite, it is precisely the opposite; it reaches an infinite that is only finite; and the finite that she just left, she keeps it, giving her an absolute character. If, after the previous consideration of the nullity of the opposition established by the intellect between the finite and the infinite (consideration that can be useful compared to Philebos of Plato), it is easy to fall, and here in the formula that the infinite and the finite are one, that the truth , the true infinity, is determined and expressed as the unity of infinite and finite; such an expression contains something fair, but it is equally wrong and false, as I mentioned earlier about the unity of being and

Or, if one were to reflect that the finite, as one with the infinite, could no longer remain what was outside this entity, it should at least suffer a change in its determination ( as we know, potassium in contact with acid loses it's properties) then the same thing should happen to the infinite, which, as a negative, would also be healed in his contact with the other. This really happens with the unilateral infinite, abstract,of the
