Hi Friends,
I don't understand the meaning of "nod" in the sentence bellow. Does it mean "gesture" or "movement"?
thanks.
Climacus’s nod towards the infinite impels him to go towards the finite.
It is not a physical movement or gesture. It means that Climacus has indicated an awareness or recognition (most likely in writing or speech) of the importance of the infinite.

I suppose it means a (metaphorical) gesture of agreement/approval.
Note that "bellow" is a word in English, but not the one you want in the sentence above.
