Abstract

Mit diesem Band wird eine theologische Erkenntnislehre vorgestellt. Die Studie entwickelt im Gespräch mit maßgeblichen Konzeptionen der Theologiegeschichte einen theologischen Begriff negativer Theologie. Für diesen ist die grundsätzliche Verbundenheit von Reflexion und Lehre, Glaubensvollzug sowie Glaubenserfahrung konstitutiv: Negative Theologie ist Rede von Gott auf der Grundlage seiner Offenbarung und unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Verborgenheit Gottes in seiner Offenbarung. This volume introduces a theological epistemology. In conversation with major conceptions of the history of theology, this study develops a theological concept of negative theology. For the latter the basic connection of reflection and teaching, faith as a practiced as well as the experience of faith, are constituent: negative theology is speech about God on the basis of his revelation and from the viewpoint of the hiddenness of God in his revelation.

Abstract

“In Negative Theology and Utopian Thought in Contemporary American Poetry, Jason Lagapa takes the next step in illuminating the Utopian function at work in contemporary American poetry. Steeped in the Marxist tradition of such critics as Ernst Bloch and Fredric Jameson, Lagapa carefully analyzes the work of four crucial poets—Susan Howe, Nathaniel Mackey, Charles Bernstein, and Alice Notley—in order to demonstrate how these poets’ innovative strategies mobilize the anticipatory force that Bloch names the ‘not yet.’ Lagapa makes convincing use of the tradition of negative theology, a tradition predicated on rhetorical premises that are surprisingly appropriate to both Utopian thinking and poetic experimentation. At a time when such thinking is at a premium, Lagapa reminds us that our poetry remains an abundant storehouse of visionary tropes.” —Norman Finkelstein, Professor of English, Jewish Studies, Xavier University, USA This book explores the utopian imagination in contemporary American poetry and the ways in which experimental poets formulate a utopian poetics by adopting the rhetorical principles of negative theology, which proposes using negative statements as a means of attesting to the superior, unrepresentable being of God. With individual chapters on works by such poets as Susan Howe, Nathaniel Mackey, Charles Bernstein, and Alice Notley, this book illustrates how a strategy of negation similarly proves optimal for depicting the subject of utopia in literary works. Negative Theology and Utopian Thought in Contemporary American Poetry: Determined Negations contends that negative statements in experimental poetry illustrate the potential for utopian social change, not by portraying an ideal world itself but by revealing the very challenge of representing utopia directly.

Abstract

Negative theology or apophasis - the idea that God is best identified in terms of 'absence', 'otherness', 'difference' - has been influential in modern Christian thought, resonating as it does with secular notions of negation developed in continental philosophy. Apophasis also has a strong intellectual history dating back to the early Church Fathers. Silence and the Word both studies the history of apophasis and examines its relationship with contemporary secular philosophy. Leading Christian thinkers explore in their own way the extent to which the concept of the apophatic illumines some of the deepest doctrinal structures of Christian faith, and of Christian self-understanding both in terms of its historical and contemporary situatedness, showing how a dimension of negativity has characterised not only traditional mysticism but most forms of Christian thought over the years.

Abstract

Le Dieu Néant. Théologies Négatives à l'Aube des Temps Modernes is a study of the diverse intellectual possibilities presented to Medieval and Renaissance intellectuals by the negative theology of pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. It deals specifically with the ontological, epistemological and semiotic aspects of interpretations of Dionysian philosophy developed by such thinkers as Thomas Aquinas, Ficino, Cusanus and Bovelles. It also attempts to differentiate between the negative theology specific to Dionysius, and those elements of negative thinking peculiar to Hermetism and the Christian Cabala. This analysis of negative theology sheds new light on the differences between major intellectual currents of European philosophy (scholasticism, Italian Neoplatonism, German and French mysticism, occultism), while introducing useful distinctions into the history of the Dionysian tradition itself.

Abstract

Can humans know God? Can created beings approach the Uncreated? The concept of God and questions about our ability to know him are central to this book. Eastern Orthodox theology distinguishes between knowing God as he is (his divine essence) and as he presents himself (through his energies), and thus it both negates and affirms the basic question: man cannot know God in his essence, but may know him through his energies. Henny Fiska Hagg investigates this earliest stage of Christian negative (apophatic) theology, as well as the beginnings of the distinction between essence and energies, focusing on Clement of Alexandria in the late second century. Clement's theological, social, religious, and philosophical milieu is also considered, as is his indebtedness to Middle Platonism and its concept of God.
