Strun djiny nekonena (2026)

In this first book, Paolo Zellini traces the historical development of the mathematical concept of infinity step by step, while enriching it with the original mythical, theological and literary speculations that have always accompanied it. The journey leads from the Pythagorean discovery of irrational numbers and the horror infiniti, the fear of infinity that runs through antiquity, to Cantor’s dazzling paradise and the sudden expulsion from it following the discovery of antinomies that undermine the foundations of science.
