English to Italian translations [Non-PRO]
Art/Literary - Philosophy / literature

English term or phrase: theoretically boundless

Ecco qui un pò di contesto:

"Adorno's notorious Dialectic of Enlightenment consists substantially of the movement between the universal and the particular. In art, the universal is the law of genre, a "collective bindingness". And so, for example, if Mr. Spielberg is to make a war movie, he feels bound by the law of genre to have rippling flags, heroes, and gutwrenching spasms of patriotism. On the other side, the particular represents the THEORETICALLY BOUNDLESS world of human possibility and play (which Adorno attempts to capture through the word 'spontaneity')".

Io avrei tradotto così: Dall'altra parte, il particolare rappresenta il TEORICAMENTE ILLIMITATO mondo dell'umana possibilità di azione....". Non mi piace molto quel teoricamente illimitato e stavo cercando una soluzione un pò più fluida e meno pesante. Voi avete qualche suggerimento?

Grazie.

teoreticamente illimitato

Explanation:
Mentre concordo con le traduzioni dei colleghi, sottolineerei che la dicitura comune si riferisce a Filosofia Teoretica, non teorica. Per teoretica s'intende qualcosa che genera teorie, per teoria s'intende non pratica.
