Anaximander:

Whatever has come into existence, must also pass away with necessity.

Is is true to say, then, that there is nothing infinite in this world?

Responses to Anaximander

Martin Heidegger:

We come to know what it means to think when we ourselves try to think.

If the attempt is to be successful, we must be ready to learn thinking.

As soon as we allow ourselves to become involved in such learning,

we have admitted that  we are not yet capable of thinking.

(What is called thinking? -Beginning)

Animals learn death first at the moment of death;...
man approaches death with the knowledge it is closer every hour,
and this creates a feeling of uncertainty over his life,
even for him who forgets in the business of life that annihilation is awaiting him.
It is for this reason chiefly that we have philosophy and religion.

(Arthur Schopenhauer: The World as Will and Idea)

 

 

“Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same:

whoever feels different, will  voluntarily go into a psychiatric hospital.”

Nietzsche: Thus spoke Zarathustra, Introduction.
