Title: Some thinking of the concept of "infinity" of Anaximander
Abstract: The infinite of Anaximander is the earliest abstract concept to reveal world origin that has been recorded in the ancient Greek philosophy. It aims to counter the concept of the world origin is oneand try to use more to explain more. People generally believe that his infinite concept is very similar to the general philosophical abstraction like the concept of being. But from the view of author the concept of infinite is more like the concept of non- being. If the being is You,Is limited,it is temporary. So,the opposite of non- being ( as the antagonistic of being ) has become as Wu and infinite,and is eternal. The Tao of Lao Tze is also like the infinite of Anaximander,such as uncertainty,limit lessness eternal,etc. But also there are several differences with Tao and infinite,mainly reflected in the mode of their inferences and with the relationship between the( being and non- being).
