Finitude

Finitude refers to the concept of having limited or bounded existence—meaning that all things, including situations and beings, have definite boundaries, durations, or limits. In philosophy, it highlights that humans and objects are not infinite; we have constraints such as time, resources, and physical limits. Recognizing finitude encourages an understanding of the natural limits of our knowledge, lifespan, and capacity, fostering humility and awareness of mortality. It's a way to acknowledge that everything is finite and that accepting these boundaries helps us appreciate life, make meaningful choices, and understand our place in the universe.
