|---|---|
| (It is asked concerning the arguments of Aristotle against [the infinite]) | 145 |
| It is asked whether the infinite exists in actuality actuality: "actu" in the original, referring to something that is fully realized or currently existing in fact. | 146 |
| It is asked whether any continuous thing is infinite in actuality | 147 |
| It is asked whether one can posit an infinite number as infinite in actuality | 147 |
| It is asked whether one can posit an infinite in potentiality potentiality: "potentia" in the original, referring to the capacity to be or become something, even if it is not currently so. | 149 |
| It is asked whether the infinite exists in pure potentiality or in potentiality mixed with actuality | 149 |
| It is asked whether the existence of the infinite is successive or permanent A "successive" infinite would be like time or a sequence of numbers, while a "permanent" infinite would be a physical object that is infinitely large all at once. | 150 |
| It is asked whether every part of the infinite is infinite | 151 |
| It is asked whether any part of the infinite is infinite | 152 |
| It is asked whether a body composed of elements has any infinite part | 152 |
| It is asked what the infinite is: it is asked whether the infinite is in a genus In Aristotelian logic, a "genus" is a broad category or class of things. | 153 |
| It is asked whether it is in the genus of substance or accident accident: a property that exists in something else but is not essential to its nature, such as color or size. | 154 |
| It is asked whether the infinite is an accident | 155 |
| It is asked whether it is a quantity | 156 |
| It is asked whether it is in the category of relation category: "predicamentum" in the original, referring to one of Aristotle's ten ways of classifying existence. | 156 |
| It is asked whether it is in the category of action or passion In this context, "passion" refers to being acted upon by an external force. | 156 |
| It is asked whether the finite and infinite are in the category of quality | 157 |
| It is asked what the infinite is, it is asked concerning the definition of the infinite, which is: the infinite is that of which nothing is outside, whether it is a good definition original: "infinitum est cujus nichil est extra". This paradoxically sounds like a definition of the "whole" or "perfect" rather than the infinite. | 158 |
| It is asked concerning another definition of the infinite, which is: the infinite is that from which those taking quantity can always take something outside original: "infinitum est cujus quantitatem accipientibus semper est aliquid sumere extra". This describes an infinite process, like counting. | 159 |
| It is asked whether the continuous is divisible to infinity | 159 |
| It is asked whether natural magnitude is divisible to infinity | 160 |
| It is asked whether there is addition to magnitude to infinity or not addition: "appositio" in the original, referring to the process of adding parts together. | 161 |
| It is asked whether, excluding division, there occurs addition of magnitude to infinity | 162 |
| It is asked what is the cause why magnitude does not go to infinity, excluding division absolutely | 163 |
| It is asked whether in any way magnitude can grow to infinity | 164 |
| It is asked how there is infinity in numbers: it is asked whether the addition of numbers goes to infinity | 164 |
| (It is asked whether the division of magnitude is to infinity) | 165 |
| It is asked whether number is divisible to infinity | 166 |
