This study analyses Patočka’s conception of the relation between the finite human bein­g and the infinite, or rather, various conceptions of this relation which also imply different understandings of what the finite human being and the infinite consist in. The key theme becomes the different possibilities of interpreting Patočka’s early thesis stating that “the absolute is not outside us but in us”. The late Patočka explicitly dismisses the idea that the finite human being can discover the infinite in itself and that this “discovery” requires turning away from the world. The infinite can be reali­sed only by a loving relating to others irreducible to a collective “service to being”. The present interpretation aims to reinterpret true love as a movement which turns to others in their concrete (affective) situation of (present) praxis. It is through this movement that the finite human being lives in the infinite.
