If we dream of effect- ing this, we only deceive ourselves by substi- tuting the indefinite for the infinite, than which no two notions can be more opposed. " The negation of a commencement of time involves, likewise, the affirmation that an infin...ite time has, at every moment, already run ; that is, it implies the contradiction that an infinite has been completed. For the same reasons we are unable to conceive an infinite progress of time; while the infinite regress and the infinite prog- ress, taken together, involve the triple contra- diction of an infinite concluded, of an infinite commencing, and of two infinities not exclusive of each other.
