Actually infinite(as used in mathematics and philosophy): A collection that is completely unlimited in size, not just something that keeps going forever—like if you could somehow count every single book in a library that has no end.
Aristotle: Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago and is one of the most influential thinkers in Western history. He studied nearly every subject—from animals and plants to politics and ethics—and developed practical ways of thinking that shaped how people understand the world. His ideas on logic, nature, and how to live a good life are still taught and debated today because he focused on observing the real world rather than just abstract theories.
Atomist cosmology(describing the philosophical tradition Crescas followed): An ancient Greek theory that everything in the universe is made of tiny, indivisible particles (atoms) moving through empty space.
Crescas(the main philosopher being discussed): A medieval Jewish philosopher (1340-1410) who thought deeply about infinity and space; he disagreed with Aristotle's ideas about how infinity works.
