Description

Henry Calderwood’s The Philosophy of the Infinite (1854) is a profound exploration of humanity’s capacity to comprehend the concept of the Infinite and the Divine. In this influential philosophical treatise, Calderwood examines the limits of human knowledge, the relation between faith and reason, and the possibility of understanding an infinite being through finite experience. He critiques both purely rationalist and empiricist approaches, proposing a balanced view that unites intellectual inquiry with spiritual intuition. The book played a significant role in nineteenth-century debates on metaphysics and theology and remains a key work for students of philosophy and the philosophy of religion.
