Focusing on the development of negative or apophatic thinking in European philosophy, the book explores its connections to positive or kataphatic approaches to understanding God. The author emphasizes that the figures discussed—Hellenic, Jewish, and Christian—sought to articulate a living reality of the universe that transcends human thought and language, rather than engaging in abstract philosophy. With a detailed examination of various forms of negative theology and the challenges faced by different traditions, this work serves as an essential introduction to the subject.
