El concepto latino de 'finis' respecto del griego τέλος. Ante la problemática de la gradación del supremo bien planteada en el de Finibus de Cicerón

Resumen

The extensive quality of the idea of limit expressed by finis becomes evident in the aporia posed in De finibus by the necessity that the supreme good, in order to be perfect, must not increase with duration. The semantic comparison between τέλος and finis explains the difficulty -in the Ciceronian treaty- to understand virtuous acts as non-cinetic acts and, therefore, capable of increasing intensively.
