自类有限-有限 自类无限-无限

只看楼主收藏回复

1.1
自类有限-有限:
II. A thing is called finite after its kind, when it can be
limited by another thing of the same nature; for instance, a
body is called finite because we always conceive another greater
body. So, also, a thought is limited by another thought, but a
body is not limited by thought, nor a thought by body.
第一部分界说二 凡是可以为同性质的另一事物所限制的东西,就叫做自类有限.例如一个物体被称为有限,就是因为除了这个物体之外,我们常常可以设想另一个更大的物体.同样,一个思想可以为另一个思想所限制.但是物体不能限制思想,思想也不能限制物体.
原文解析——
可见自类有限和有限是同一个意思,在原文里,它们可以相互替换.
那么自类无限和无限是同一个意思吗——
1.2
VI. By God, I mean a being absolutely infinite--that is, a
substance consisting in infinite attributes, of which each
expresses eternal and infinite essentiality.
Explanation--I say absolutely infinite, not infinite after its
kind: for, of a thing infinite only after its kind, infinite
attributes may be denied; but that which is absolutely infinite,
contains in its essence whatever expresses reality, and involves
no negation.
第一部分界说六 神,我理解为绝对无限的存在,亦即具有无限“多”属性的实体,其中每一属性各表示永恒无限的本质.
说明 我说神是绝对无限而不说它是自类无限,因为仅仅是自类无限的东西,我们可以否认其无限多的属性;而绝对无限者的本性中就具备了一切足以表示本质的东西,却并不包含否定.
PROP. XXI. All things which follow from the absolute nature of
any attribute of God must always exist and be infinite, or, in
other words, are eternal and infinite through the said attribute.
第一部分命题二十一 凡是从神的任何属性的绝对本性而出的东西必定永远地无限地存在,或者凭借这个属性而成为永恒的和无限的.
原文解析——
由1.1,自类无限,就是无限的意思,因此,方便起见,简称为无限即可.
但是由第一部分界说六和第一部分命题二十一,自类无限和无限却不是这样,自类无限,指的是神的属性,而无限,由第一部分命题二十一,指的是建立在神的属性上的永恒无限的样式(这里暂且不提有限变化的样式).
自类无限的东西(也就是神的属性),必然是无限的,但是无限的(无限永恒的样式),却不是自类无限的(神的属性).

    我理解为一阶无穷和高阶无穷的区别
