Abstract

This research investigates the possibility of offering theological reflection a new philosophical instrument that allows it to think in an alternative key the relationship between the Creator and the creature. Taking as a starting point the thought of Manuel Cabada Castro on infinity and Andrés Torres Queiruga's conception of finitude and evil, this thesis attempts to analyse and evaluate the internal and external consistency of the idea of "actual created infinity" to see if, finally, such an idea can be used in the construction of a future theological anthropology. The substantive analysis is carried out mainly in connection with the contributions of Blaise Pascal and Georg Cantor on the question of infinity, understood in philosophical, mathematical and, ultimately, also theological terms. The polarity between finitude and infinity internally structures its three parts with its six chapters.
