Lefevre's Theology of Reason and Reason

Lefevre is moving towards the idea that god cannot be grasped through normal language or reasoning. He contrasts rational and intellectual philosophy and says that, whereas reason can go astray, pure intellection is unerring. And to help us along, le fevre healthily supplies a reading list that will lift students gradually to the heights of true contemplation. It does include aristotle, but then moves on to the church fathers, before culminating with cusanus and dionysius. Notice that cisanus is the only modern author listed. With that notable exception, the truths of religion and philosophy are, for le fevre, to be sought in antiquity.
