... to something beyond itself (more precisely, beyond the finite set a given symbol is part of). Rather, the determining feature is substitutability within the set. It is internal switchability enabled by empty spaces. Yes, this is an essay about time, but one must never forget that it is spatialization...

... of friction is the foundational event of earthly, finite, life. As Žižek explains, the Fall was already written into God's divine plan. Due to this situation it then follows that humans can only become free when they realize their own unfreedom, when they realize their own finitude and thus assume...

... thinks that, for purposes of knowledge, the construction must be a priori, he has no way to account for how finite human beings in fact know the world they experience and themselves. An important partial solution is provided by the idea of objectification as distinguished from alienation...

... of the interminable growth of accumulation, the cycle of investment, of exploitation and reinvestment . . . , on the other hand the actual infinite, the one by which a finite existence accedes, as finite, to the infinite of a sense or of a value that is its most proper sense and value. Infinity, in other words...

... is in relation to environmentalism. That is, consumerism spawns false needs and false consciousness, disregards the reality of a finite material world in pursuit of ever-expanding markets and profits, and compensates for exploitation and alienation by offering seemingly limitless (but unsatisfying) consumption...

...): we have a finite surface, finite biochemical-mineral combinations, and a finite amount of water ever circulating in the hydrologic cycle. This finitude is one means by which a horizon might be lost. Another is found in the exoplanetary ring of satellites surveilling the earth at all times...

..., concluding that film cameras and projectors themselves resemble the assembly line, and, furthermore, film is a form of money, because, like money, film “circulates” in the projector. Why we should accept this, I do not see. In a finite world, after all, almost everything can be said to circulate, from...

... uncertainty, where even the sense of approaching finality—of lastness, let alone lateness—must be interrogated as a function of poor timekeeping. Blanqui’s conclusion to L’eternité par les astres is that once it is understood that the finite elements of the universe must be endlessly replicated across...

... illuminated, as can be seen in Christ as “light of the world”—“the true human condition,” the human as both God and human, the God-human that has been corrupted by voluntarism. God here is the absolute maximum, the universe the contracted maximum, the divine in finite form where the human is the highest...

... (two volumes), Stiegler shows that tertiary retention is the basis of the “detachability” of the drives, which are not instincts precisely thanks to this detachability (see esp. Stiegler 2015 : chaps. 1 and 4). While the drives always end in the satisfaction of finite aims, through this detachability...

... and death at times as linear, at other times as circular. What matters here, however, is less the particular “shape” that time takes than that we all exist in time: birth and death are markers of our temporality, reminders of the finite nature of our existence. On a most fundamental level, Life in a Day...

...) constantly needed to be found, and the development of increasingly efficient technologies (in time) had to be developed ( Hassan 2008 ). A profound contradiction for capitalism, however, is that physical space is finite, and the rhythm of the clock, upon which the system is based, is inflexible...

All this is perfectly of a piece with a reality which is itself an artificial arena, where everyone is already a gamer, waiting...

... is to externalize the costs of production, so that the market need only account for the costs of distribution and consumption. A large part of those costs are to be borne by the free labor of creation ( Fuchs 2009 )—quite possibly a finite resource—employed by the major online enterprises and increasingly in other...

According to prognoses made by DASA [the Defense Atomic Support Agency] (which, as the successor to the Peenemünde Army Research Center, should know what it's talking about), the world's oil wells are as calculable as they are finite. Despite all drilling ventures...

..., there is a profound feeling of contra-purposiveness that forces us to ask the question “why did that hurricane have to happen?” Or, when staring up at the universe, “it all seems so meaningless and empty.” In both cases, there is a sense of pain attached to the sublime. We are finite, and there are forms and forces...
