Anyone who has pondered the limitlessness of space and time, or the endlessness of numbers, or the perfection of God will recognize the special fascination of this question. Adrian Moore's historical study of the infinite covers all its aspects, from the mathematical to the mystical.

Covers much the same ground as Clegg's _Infinity_, but more in the style of a professional philosopher. Very good on Cantor's transfinite ordinals and cardinals.
