contains them, while it is the form which contains. It is natural
too to suppose that in number there is a limit in the direction of drunken-moms-sex com the
minimum, and that in the other direction every assigned number is
surpassed. In magnitude, on drunken-moms-sex com the contrary, every assigned magnitude
is surpassed drunken-moms-sex com in the direction of smallness, drunken-moms-sex com while in the other
direction there is no drunken-moms-sex com infinite drunken-moms-sex com magnitude. The reason is that what is
one is indivisible whatever drunken-moms-sex com it may be, e.g. a man is one man, not
many. Number on the other hand is a plurality of 'ones' and a
certain quantity of them. Hence number must stop at the indivisible:
for 'two' and 'three' are merely derivative terms, and so with each of
the other numbers. But in the direction of drunken-moms-sex com largeness it is always
possible to think of a larger number: for the number of times a
magnitude can be bisected is infinite. Hence this infinite is
potential, never actual: the number of parts that can be taken
always surpasses any assigned number. But this number is not separable
from the process of bisection, and its infinity is not a permanent
actuality but consists in a process of coming to be, like time drunken-moms-sex com and drunken-moms-sex com the
number of time.
With magnitudes the contrary drunken-moms-sex com holds. What is continuous is divided ad
infinitum, but there is no drunken-moms-sex com infinite in the direction of increase.
For the drunken-moms-sex com size which it can potentially be, it can also actually be.
Hence since no sensible magnitude is drunken-moms-sex com infinite, it is impossible to
exceed every assigned magnitude; for
if it were possible there would
drunken-moms-sex com be something bigger than the heavens.
The infinite is not the same in magnitude and movement and time,
in the sense of a single nature, but its secondary sense depends on
its primary sense, i.e. movement is called infinite in drunken-moms-sex com virtue of the
magnitude covered by the movement (or drunken-moms-sex com alteration or drunken-moms-sex com growth), and
time because of the movement. (I use these terms drunken-moms-sex com for the moment. Later
I shall explain what each of them means, and also why drunken-moms-sex com every
magnitude is divisible into magnitudes.)
Our account does not rob the mathematicians of their science, by
disproving drunken-moms-sex com the actual existence of the infinite in the direction of
increase, in the sense of the untraversable. In
point of fact they
do not need drunken-moms-sex com the infinite and do not use it. They postulate only that
the drunken-moms-sex com finite straight line may be produced as far as they wish. It is
drunken-moms-sex com possible to have drunken-moms-sex com divided in the same ratio as the largest quantity
another magnitude of
any size you like. Hence,
