Unknown God : Negative Theology in the Platonic Tradition
Book • 2015
Deirdre Carabine's "The Unknown God" delves into the history and significance of negative theology, tracing its development from Plato to John Scotus Eriugena.
The book explores how this approach, which emphasizes what God is not rather than what God is, offers a unique perspective on the divine.
Carabine's work sheds light on the philosophical and theological challenges of describing the ineffable, highlighting the limitations of language in grasping ultimate reality.
It's a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of negative theology and its enduring relevance in contemporary thought.
The book's detailed analysis of Eriugena's contributions to negative theology is particularly insightful.
