Holz 63
Finite/infinite/Leibniz: the set of possible objects of experience must be assumed to be infinite, because otherwise there ought to be a cause for reason why these should not be infinite, and there can be no such thing.
>Possibility/Leibniz, >Possible world/Leibniz.
I 64
Language/infinite/finite/statement/fact/Leibniz: so there must be an infinite set of facts and correspondingly an infinite set of statements! (Factual truths). A finite mind, however, is incapable of reducing it to a finite set of identical sentences.
See the discussion on Researchgate: >"Are there infinitely many possible sentences?"
One never possesses a (full) proof, although there is always a reason for the truth! This reason can be fully understood by God alone.
I 73/74
Infinity/construction/Leibniz: Leibniz makes the general connexion in an infinite set construible for the finite mind as the mathematically infinite, as a boundary concept in an infinitesimal method of construction.
Limit/knowledge/Leibniz/Holz: every finite mind has only the knowledge of a limited section, but also the realization that a boundary exists, and with it a world which extends beyond this limit.
Holz: the ability to exceed is an a priori determination of "boundaries".
I 155
cf.
Helmuth Plessner: "Material a priori": the boundary is a material determinant moment of every finite being.
