ulottumattomien

Ulottumattomat is a Finnish word that literally translates to "indefinables" or "unknowable things". In the context of philosophical discussions in Finland, the term refers to ideas or concepts that are considered beyond human comprehension or understanding.

The concept of ulottumattomat is often associated with the philosophical ideas of the Finnish philosopher, Bernhard Heim. Heim argued that certain things in the world are fundamentally beyond human knowledge or understanding, and that attempting to comprehend them would be ultimately futile.

In Finnish philosophy, ulottumattomat are seen as a category of things that cannot be fully grasped or described by human language or conceptual frameworks. They are considered to be inherently mysterious and unknowable, despite efforts to study or analyze them.

Ulottumattomat are often contrasted with the concept of tuntemattomat, which refers to things that are unknown or unexplored, but not necessarily unknowable. While tuntemattomat can potentially be understood or known with the right investigation or research, ulottumattomat are seen as inherently inaccessible to human understanding.

The concept of ulottumattomat has been a topic of discussion in Finnish philosophy, particularly in the areas of metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of language. It has also been influenced by ideas from other philosophical traditions, such as German idealism and phenomenology. Despite its obscure nature, the concept of ulottumattomat continues to be an important topic of study and debate in Finnish philosophical circles.
