Can an actual infinite be formed by successive addition? I'm joined by Wes Morriston to discuss this question and more. Here's Wes' *excellent* 2021 paper that we are discussing in the video: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00048402.2020.1865426 [DM me on Facebook if you don't have access] Like the show?

For one can consistently hold both (a) and (b) and employ them both to argue against (the possibility of) an infinite past. (Even still, Wes argues quite forcefully in his recent AJP paper that the arguments in the literature for (a) and (b) fail.)
