In wiki dictionary, Coincidentia oppositorum is a Latin phrase meaning coincidence of opposites. It is a neoplatonic term attributed to 15th century German polymath Nicholas of Cusa in his essay, De Docta Ignorantia.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_of_opposites).
"Coincidence of opposites" is one of Nicholas' philosophy, it means the diversity of the limited world agreeing with
the oneness of the infinite realm of God and its many self contained existence; and of learned ignorance wich means, the
idea that the key to experiencing magical unity with God through intellectual intuition in an awareness that a complete
conceptual understanding of God is impossible and can only be acquired in limited fashion. (wordpress.com)
Nicolas of Cusa's philosophy was connected with God that says that a lot would coincide with unity, the being
one of everlasting kingdom of God and its entities. Its all about the finite world of us became one in the infinite realm
of God. For example the number of sides of polygon and increased from a square to pentagon and soon, the polygon will
be closer to circle which has infinite sides. And its example in real life, The Human life here in earth has an end but when
human die, he will go to the next life with God which all will have an everlasting life and love with him.
As a conclusion for his philosophy, it said it can be used and still used by people because the philosophy says and
thoughts that the limited thing can always go for an everlasting place.
