“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.”
