Nicolaus Cusanus' idea of infinity and its impact on modern philosophy

Today, although we examine it under science and mathematics, the concept of infinity has preserved its exceptional place in philosophy. In fact, thinking about the concept of infinity has a very important place in the development and formation of radical changes in the history of philosophy. As a matter of fact, the concept of infinity is a concept that spreads to almost every field of philosophy, and it points to many problems as soon as it is considered. Nicolaus Cusanus is one of the people who saw this favorable nature of the concept of infinity and envisioned a philosophy, and ultimately a theology, by thinking infinity in itself. In addition to its authenticity, Cusanus' De Docta Ignorantia influenced the philosophical debates that followed it and the scientific debates that emerged from these philosophical debates. In fact, Cusanus himself can be shown as the beginning of modern philosophy, depending on how we understand modern philosophy. Considering these situations, it will be very fruitful to examine the idea of infinity in Cusanus' De Docta Ignorantia. Keywords: Infinity, maximum, absolute, oneness, contraction, ignorance.
