An den Grenzen des Sinns

This article concentrates on an entity that for many is the highest form of sense, namely God. Assuming that God is endless, the author asks what can be known about such an eternity and which epistemological consequences go along with such an experience of God. By taking up the verse in the Koran (57:4): “He is with you, wherever you are”, the author shows that the infinity of God is nothing far away or abstract. It is rather the penetration of everything. A flower, for example, not only shows itself in its finitude but also testifies with its existence to the infinity of God and thus points a way to God. The more one tries to fathom the given signs, the more the divine infinity manifests itself. Therefore, if sense is equated with finitude, the alleged nonsensicality of the infinite in fact has its own sense in the finite creature.
