The Sense Of The Infinite: A Study Of The Transcendental Element In Literature, Life And Religion (1908) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104505721)

The Sense of the Infinite is a book written by Oscar Kuhns and originally published in 1908. The book is a study of the transcendental element in literature, life, and religion, exploring the ways in which human beings have sought to connect with the infinite throughout history. Kuhns begins by examining the concept of the infinite and its role in human thought and experience. He then goes on to explore the ways in which this concept has been expressed in literature, both ancient and modern, as well as in religious and philosophical traditions.The book covers a wide range of topics, from the poetry of William Wordsworth and Walt Whitman to the teachings of the Buddha and the writings of the Christian mystics. Kuhns also discusses the ways in which the sense of the infinite has been expressed in art, music, and architecture.Throughout the book, Kuhns argues that the sense of the infinite is a fundamental aspect of human experience, and that it has played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. He also suggests that the search for the infinite is an ongoing process, one that continues to inspire and challenge us to this day.Overall, The Sense of the Infinite is a thought-provoking and insightful study of a timeless and universal human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
