Considers the relevance of negative theology and apophatic thinking in today's society

Offers insights that are relevant for continental philosophy, theology, comparative literature, metaphysics, and intercultural philosophy

Provides historical contextualization of thinking from Ancient Platonic and Neo-Platonic debates to the 19th century

In this volume, scholars draw deeply on negative theology in order to consider some of the oldest questions in the philosophy of religion that stand as persistent challenges to inquiry, comprehension, and expression. The chapters engage different philosophical methodologies, cross disciplinary boundaries, and draw on varied cultural traditions in the effort to demonstrate that apophaticism can be a positive resource for contemporary philosophy of religion.
