05. The philosophy of limits

We think, philosophically or not, through and thanks to limits. By recognizing something as a limit we have already overcome it. There are temporal and material limits, limits that separate and unite, and at the same time there is the contemporary drive to transcend these limits. In this session the philosophical fertility of the limit will be tested, going from the abstract and infinite to the concrete and singular.
