“Is not ‘bad’ an ethical category? What is the implication involved in
speaking of a bad infinite? The implication is that I told some person
responsible for refusing to end the infinite reflective process. And this
means, does it not, that I require him to do something? But as a genuinely
speculative philosopher I assume, on the contrary, that reflection ends
itself. If that is the case, why do I make any demand upon the thinker? And
what is it that I require of him? I ask him for a resolve.”
