Join us as we explore the enigmatic concept of infinity with Dr. Graham Oppy, delving into its philosophical implications and historical development. In this interview, we discuss the distinctions between potential and actual infinities, the different orders of infinity, and the nuances of cardinal and ordinal numbers. Dr. Oppy explains the differences between naive and axiomatic set theory, the role of paradoxes in understanding infinity, and how these concepts influence the philosophy of religion and our understanding of time. Whether you're a student of philosophy or a curious thinker, this conversation offers a profound insight into one of philosophy's most fascinating subjects.
