Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I will discuss only some of the important issues concerning boundary issues. First, I will briefly say something about the meaning of which word in Greek and Latin is largely covered by the meaning of our word boundary (granica). I will then turn to the beginnings of discussing our subject with Euclid and Aristotle. For the longest time, I will dwell on some of the issues raised by our topic in contemporary philosophy. I will consider dividing boundaries into bodily and disembodied, natural and artificial, that is, bona fide and fiat boundaries, into clear and unclear or vague ones. I will also point out some problems related to the issues of demarcation and borders of neighboring entities. Finally, I will say something about the issue of boundaries of boundaries.
