In the system of Hegel's philosophy,‘infinity' has its very important position.At the same time,the problem of ‘ limitation ' and ‘ infinity ' itself is the limit problem of metaphysics.The real meaning of Hegel's thought of ‘infinity' is still worth asking.On the one hand,through tracing and clarifying this problem,Hegel's ontology,epistemology and methodology will be presented one by one;on the other hand,the understanding of Hegel's thought of ‘infinity' will help us to clarify how Hegel's whole philosophical system is unfolded.Therefore,the study of Hegel's Infinity has its own intrinsic value.The understanding of infinity in traditional metaphysics just stays in the simple opposition and separation between ‘limitation' and ‘infinity',which is exactly the‘bad infinity' that Hegel wants to criticize,which means that there is still a kind of‘true infinity' in Hegel.Hegel's ‘true infinity' is not an empty infinity,but an infinity with rich content.At the same time,infinity means that we need to find out the limit first.In Hegel's view,there is no clear boundary between limit and infinity,which can be transformed into each other.Even according to the development of Hegel's philosophy system,infinity needs to be limited first.Why the infinite needs to be finite,then,and how the infinite itself needs to be definite,need to be argued accordingly.Both foreign and domestic scholars attach great importance to Hegel's infinite problem.They all expound their views on this issue from their own standpoint.However,many scholars have carried out their research from the theory of holism and process.This paper will focus on the use of relevance to interpret Hegel's "infinity",and this paper will trace the different meanings of the concept of "infinity" in different periods by the linear time course of Hegel's thought development,In this way,we try to restore Hegel's understanding of the essence of "infinity" in a historical way.In addition,this paper will also give out Hegel's supreme will of "infinite" thought with the thought of "the same".In addition,the question of "infinity" also touches on the core problems of metaphysics such as "boundary","identity and difference","potential and realization","individualized principle",etc.This paper will be taken as far as possible.
