Abstract

The concept of infinite is clearly addressed in the comments that St. John of the Cross made to his own poetry. In his work, the concept of infinite is intimately related to the notion of God, who is reached not through the knowledge, but rather through the spiritual experience. The main goal of this paper is to look at the philosophical and hermeneutic implications of the concept of infinite and the different uses that St. Jhon of the Cross made in his work. El concepto de infinito aparece explícitamente en los comentarios que Juan de la Cruz realiza a su propia poesía. En su obra, el concepto de infinito es una metáfora de Dios, al cual sólo se accede no por medio del conocimiento, sino por la experiencia espiritual. El objetivo de esta comunicación consiste en dilucidar las implicaciones filosóficas y hermenéuticas de los diversos usos que este místico hace del concepto de infinito.
