Re: Infinite Absolute Negativity
Do you have any advice on how this contradiction can be resolved?

Re: Infinite Absolute Negativity
As the text I cited says, "infinite" here refers to the idea that the negations in question are applicable to any arbitrary thing, not just some specific thing. That's not a normal sense of "infinite," though it's not hard to see the connection to the normal sense.
And "absolute," per this text, refers to the negation method itself being subject to the same negations.
