I10-R299-article-421522026-04-25T05:02:15Z why is infinity terrifying to the modern west?a brief analysis from foucault’s present ontology ¿Por qué el infinito es terrorífico para el occidente moderno? Un análisis breve desde la Ontología del ¨Presente de Foucault. Marghetti, Santiago Marghetti, Santiago infinito ontología del presente Foucault infinity ontology of the present Foucault The infinite is uncomfortable, it plays and destroys enumerations and lists, it escapes questions about its extension and time, it disfigures the limits between the other-self and the otherness of the original and the copy slowly but chaotically dissolves. His analysis is complex, but one way to approach it is with the question: What is infinity and why does it become terrifying? The Ontology of the present proposed by Kant and analyzed by Foucault can shed light on that darkness (although one would have to wonder why they are necessary). Kant can be thought of as the modern author par excellence since he allows us to think about the subject-object separation thanks to perspective (Minhot,2011: 9), but the question about his time does not go unnoticed.This brief work aims to approach infinity and the linguistic disfigurement that his terrifying figure entails, based on what Foucault analyzed; the author deals with the interplay between the infinite and its present as an ontological response. El infinito es incómodo, juega y destruye las enumeraciones y listas, escapa a las preguntas sobre su extensión y tiempo, desfigura los límites entre el otro-yo y la alteridad del original y la copia se diluye lenta pero caóticamente. Su análisis es complejo, pero una forma de abordarlo es con la pregunta ¿Qué es el infinito y por qué se vuelve terrorífico? La Ontologíadel Presente planteada por Kant y analizada por Foucault pueden dar luces a esa oscuridad (aunque habría que preguntarse por qué son necesarias las mismas). Kant puede pensarse como el autor moderno por excelencia ya que permite analizar la separación sujeto-objeto gracias a la perspectiva (Minhot, 2011: 9), pero la pregunta por su tiempo no pasa desapercibida. Este breve trabajo tiene por objetivo acercarse al infinito y la desfiguración lingüística que conlleva su figura terrorífica, partiendo de lo analizado por Foucault ya que en el autor se aborda el interjuego entre lo infinito y su presente como respuesta ontológica.

The infinite is uncomfortable, it plays and destroys enumerations and lists, it escapes questions about its extension and time, it disfigures the limits between the other-self and the otherness of the original and the copy slowly but chaotically dissolves.
