To Ask The Right Question Is Harder

The Potential Infinite Means Nothing Other Than An Undetermined, Variable Quantity, Always Remaining Finite, Which Has To Assume Values That Either Become Smaller Than Any Finite Limit No Matter How Small, Or Greater Than Any Finite Limit No Matter How Great.

Mathematics, In The Development Of Its Ideas, Has Only To Take Account Of The Immanent Reality Of Its Concepts And Has Absolutely No Obligation To Examine Their Transient Reality.

There Is No Doubt That We Cannot Do Without Variable Quantities In The Sense Of The Potential Infinite. But From This Very Fact The Necessity Of The Actual Infinite Can Be Demonstrated.

My Beautiful Proof Lies All In Ruins.

This View [of The Infinite], Which I Consider To Be The Sole Correct One, Is Held By Only A Few. While Possibly I Am The Very First In History To Take This Position So Explicitly, With All Of Its Logical Consequences, I Know For Sure That I Shall Not Be The Last!
