Apophatic theology is an approach in theology that emphasizes the limitation of human language and concepts in describing the nature of the Divine. Rooted in ancient religious traditions, apophatic theology has gained attention in contemporary discourse for its potential convergence with the scientific method. This paper expands on a novel application of this approach in which the formal methods of science such as logic and mathematics are engaged to inquire into how God thinks and to what degree the modes of human reasoning can be projected on the nature of the Divine mind. This application has been proposed by Michał Heller and is referred to as the logical apophatism. In the course of the analysis carried out in this paper more in-depth understanding of the logical apophatism has been obtained by contrasting it with classical approaches to negative theology such as the Triplex Via and supplementing with recent advances within the cognitive sciences. It is concluded that Heller’s use of the apophatic approach is manifestly non-standard and its novelty consists in the shift of emphasis from the negative character of the language of theology to the logic of the Divine mind and the logic that underpins the workings of the Universe.
Apophatic神学是神学中的一种方法,强调人类语言和概念在描述神的本质时的局限性。植根于古老的宗教传统,阿帕法神学在当代话语中因其与科学方法的潜在趋同而受到关注。这篇论文扩展了这种方法的一种新应用,在这种应用中,科学的形式化方法,如逻辑和数学,被用来探究上帝是如何思考的,以及人类推理的模式在多大程度上可以投射到上帝的本质上。这种应用是由michaowheller提出的,被称为逻辑离光。在本文进行的分析过程中,通过将逻辑避光论与否定神学的经典方法(如三重Via)进行对比,并辅以认知科学的最新进展,对逻辑避光论有了更深入的理解。结论是,海勒对apophatic方法的使用显然是不标准的,其新颖之处在于将重点从神学语言的消极特征转移到神圣思想的逻辑和支撑宇宙运作的逻辑上。

This article discusses the historical development of negative theology from its formulations in early Christianity to its later forms in Medieval Neo-Platonism. First analyzing how in early Christian thought negative theology was often used for a Christological purpose, the article goes on to discuss the implications of the Neo-Platonic notion of God as beyond being. While primarily applying a historical methodology, the article concludes by encouraging a rediscovery of the Christological orientation for negative theology found in its early Christian formulations.
本文讨论了否定神学从早期基督教的提法到中世纪新柏拉图主义的后期形式的历史发展。本文首先分析了早期基督教思想中消极神学是如何被用于基督论目的的,然后讨论了新柏拉图主义关于上帝是超越存在的概念的含义。虽然主要运用历史方法论,但文章的结论是鼓励重新发现早期基督教公式中发现的消极神学的基督论取向。

The Platonic-Biblical Origins of Apophatic Theology: Philo of Alexandria’s Philosophical Interpretation of the Pentateuchal Theophanies 柏拉图-圣经起源的神智神学:亚历山大的Philo的哲学解释的五教神智

This article examines Philo’s philosophical interpretation of the three theophanies in Exodus, which would, centuries later, continue to be considered by the great thinkers responsible for developing negative theology, such as Gregory of Nyssa and Dionysius the Areopagite. Although Exod 33:11 clearly states that the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if someone were to speak to his own friend, according to Philo, the lawgiver neither saw the face of God, nor learned the proper name of God, nor was he able to comprehend the essence of God. These very statements became the inspiration for later apophaticism. The present article seeks to establish to what extent Philo’s theses were influenced by Plato’s philosophy or by later Middle Platonism, and to what extent Philo, by commenting allegorically on the Pentateuch, becomes the initiator of new ideas hitherto unknown in philosophical discourse. In the course of the analyses, three great questions of apophatic theology are discussed: 1. the unnameability of God; 2. the unknowability of God’s essence; and 3. the knowability of God’s nature by grace.
本文考察了斐洛对《出埃及记》中三个神显的哲学解释,几个世纪后,这些解释继续被那些负责发展消极神学的伟大思想家所考虑,如尼萨的格列高利和阿略帕吉特的狄奥尼修斯。虽然出埃及记33章11节清楚地指出,耶和华与摩西面对面说话,就像一个人与自己的朋友说话一样,但根据菲罗的说法,这位立法者既没有看到上帝的面,也没有学到上帝的正确名称,也无法理解上帝的本质。正是这些言论启发了后来的冷漠主义。本文试图说明,斐洛的论纲在多大程度上受到柏拉图哲学或后来的中柏拉图主义的影响,以及斐洛在多大程度上通过对《摩西五经》的讽喻性评论,成为迄今为止哲学话语中未知的新思想的开创者。在分析的过程中,讨论了三个重大问题的阿帕法神学:1。上帝的不可命名性;2. 上帝本质的不可知性;和3。借着恩典知道神的本性。

One God – Many Religions? The Role of Negative Theology in Contemporary Interpretations of Religious Pluralism 一个上帝-许多宗教?否定神学在当代宗教多元主义解读中的作用
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-10-03 DOI: 10.31743/vv.16381

The article discusses the role of negative theology in contemporary interpretations of religious pluralism in an analytical and synthetic way. One of such interpretations is the pluralistic theology of religion. In view of the problems encountered due to such a way of looking at religions, a different direction of interpretation is proposed in the article. Accepting the validity of the basic intention of negative theology, the author presents a thesis that a Christian theology of religious pluralism can be based on Trinitarian theology as a kind of “matrix” of religious experience. A systematic criterion was used in the elaboration of the subsequent steps: (1) The faces of transcendence, (2) The pluralist hypothesis, (3) Via negativa, (4) The limits of negation, (5) Experience and language, (6) The nature of transcendence, (7) Toward a Trinitarian interpretation of religious pluralism. The presented model of Trinitarian interpretation of religious pluralism can be called an integrative model. It is based on the assumption that it is possible to demonstrate certain similarities between the properties of the individual Persons of the Trinity and various ideas and concepts of Ultimate Reality found in different religions.
本文从分析和综合的角度探讨了否定神学在当代宗教多元主义解读中的作用。其中一种解释是宗教的多元神学。鉴于这种看待宗教的方式所遇到的问题,本文提出了一种不同的解释方向。作者承认否定神学的基本意图是正确的,并提出了一个论点,即基督教的宗教多元化神学可以建立在三位一体神学的基础上,作为一种宗教经验的“母体”。在接下来的步骤的阐述中,使用了一个系统的标准:(1)超越的面孔,(2)多元主义假设,(3)通过否定,(4)否定的限制,(5)经验和语言,(6)超越的本质,(7)走向宗教多元主义的三位一体解释。所提出的三位一体解释宗教多元主义的模式可以被称为一个整合模式。它是基于这样的假设,即有可能证明三位一体的个人的属性与不同宗教中发现的终极现实的各种想法和概念之间的某些相似性。

Apophasis and System. Dogmatic Theology in Apophatic Perspective 凋亡和系统。从Apophatic的角度看教条神学
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-10-03 DOI: 10.31743/vv.16367

The subject of the article is the nature of theological apophasis in relation to the systematic aspirations of theological reflection. This relationship is analyzed from the perspective of the three essential truths of Christianity that form the hard core of its message: the Trinity, the personal union of the two natures in Christ, and deification. Accordingly, Trinitarian theology, Christology and anthropology are characterized, each area separately and in relation to the others, by a high degree of systematization. They constitute compact, organic and interrelated theological systems which, as constituent parts, form an organic whole. All three contain significant apophatic themes. An analysis of the connection between their systematicity and their apophatic dimension allows us to draw broader and more general conclusions about apophaticism in general and its place in theological systematization.
本文的主题是关于神学反思的系统愿望的神学apophasis的性质。这种关系是从基督教的三个基本真理的角度来分析的,这三个基本真理构成了基督教信息的核心:三位一体,两个本性在基督里的个人结合,以及神化。因此,三位一体的神学、基督论和人类学的特点是,每一个领域都是单独的,并与其他领域相关,高度系统化。它们构成紧密,有机和相互关联的神学系统,作为组成部分,形成一个有机的整体。这三本书都包含了重要的冷漠主题。分析他们的系统性和他们的冷漠维度之间的联系,可以让我们得出更广泛,更一般的结论,关于普遍的冷漠主义及其在神学系统化中的地位。

The limits of rational knowledge of God according to Joseph Ratzinger 根据约瑟夫·拉辛格对上帝的理性认识的限制
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-10-03 DOI: 10.31743/vv.16333
Paweł Borto
Joseph Ratzinger’s theological thought is distinguished by the conviction that the Christian knowledge of God is closely associated with the concept of the Logos. Therefore, in his reflection, Joseph Ratzinger is a theologian who seeks to render the mystery of God in positive terms. Yet, it would be a mistake to leave this statement without adding that in the rational knowledge of God, theology should at the same time confront what constitutes the limit of rational knowledge. The aim of this article is therefore to provide an overview of how Joseph Ratzinger pointed to the limits of the rational knowledge of God. A two-step method was adopted to achieve this goal. With reference to the synthetic approach, it first accounts for the place that the question of the rational knowledge of God takes in J. Ratzinger’s theological reflection; then it points out how, according to the German theologian, we should understand the apophatic dimension of all theological knowledge; namely, that God, being the infinite Love, can only be known in aspects, and only in the attitude of surrender. In the next step, the most significant aspects of Joseph Ratzinger’s theological reflection on theological knowledge were selected. The analysis of representative texts demonstrates how the German theologian understands limits in the rational knowledge of God. Thus, the understanding of rationality closed to the knowledge of God was presented first, along with the requirements that reason has to meet in order to open itself to the knowledge of God. Then it was demonstrated which of the most important areas of J. Ratzinger’s theological reflection refer to the limits of rational knowledge, and how they do it. The article concerns the limits of knowledge determined by the Revelation, the mystery of God, and the personal centre of Revelation – Christ, as well as the ecclesiastical nature of the creed.
约瑟夫·拉辛格的神学思想的特点是坚信基督教对上帝的认识与逻各斯的概念密切相关。因此,在他的反思中,约瑟夫·拉辛格是一位试图以积极的方式呈现上帝奥秘的神学家。然而,如果我们不补充说,在对上帝的理性认识中,神学必须同时面对构成理性认识的界限的东西,那就错了。因此,本文的目的是概述约瑟夫·拉辛格(Joseph Ratzinger)如何指出关于上帝的理性知识的局限性。采用两步法实现这一目标。在综合方法上,首先说明了对上帝的理性认识问题在拉辛格神学反思中的地位;然后指出,根据这位德国神学家的观点,我们应该如何理解所有神学知识的哲学维度;也就是说,上帝是无限的爱,只能在各个方面被认识,只能在降服的态度中被认识。接下来,选取拉辛格对神学知识的神学反思中最有意义的几个方面。对代表性文本的分析表明,德国神学家如何理解上帝理性知识的局限性。因此,首先提出的是对接近于上帝的理性的理解,以及理性必须满足的要求,以便向上帝敞开自己的知识。然后论证了拉辛格神学反思中哪些最重要的领域涉及理性知识的局限性,以及它们是如何做到的。文章关注的知识的限制,由启示,上帝的奥秘,和个人的启示中心-基督,以及信条的教会性质。

Christian Apophaticism in Jean-Luc Marion’s Early Works 基督教Apophaticism jean - luc马里昂的早期作品
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-10-03 DOI: 10.31743/vv.16158
Johannes Zachhuber
In this article, I investigate Jean-Luc Marion’s early interpretation of Christian apophaticism with special reference to his reading of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. I observe that the most remarkable, but rarely noted, aspect of this interpretation is Marion’s avoidance of the typical derivation of Dionysius’ negative theology from the Platonic tradition. Instead, he places him in the tradition of the critique of idols in the Old Testament. I argue that this intuition should not be lightly dismissed as early Christian apophaticism was at least partly developed in the context of Christian polemic against pagan idolatry. If Christian apophaticism is understood against this background, Marion’s claim that it foreshadows the modern and postmodern critique of theism appears more plausible than his detractors have been willing to admit.
在本文中,我探讨jean - luc马里昂的早期的解释基督教apophaticism特别引用他的阅读的伪狄俄尼索斯亚。我注意到,这种解释最引人注目,但很少被注意到的方面是,马里恩避免了从柏拉图传统中典型地衍生出狄奥尼修斯的消极神学。相反,他把他放在旧约中批判偶像的传统中。我认为这种直觉不应该被轻易忽视,因为早期基督教的避教主义至少部分是在基督教反对异教偶像崇拜的论战中发展起来的。如果基督教的避教论是在这种背景下理解的,马里昂声称它预示着现代和后现代的有神论批判似乎比他的批评者愿意承认的更合理。

Apophaticism, Mysticism, and Epoptics in Ancient and Patristic Philosophy: Some Important Examples 古代和教父哲学中的幻影主义、神秘主义和表观学:一些重要的例子
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-10-03 DOI: 10.31743/vv.16420
Ilaria Ramelli
This article investigates mystic apophaticism in a set of Greek Patristic theologians, profoundly informed by philosophy, especially imperial Platonism: Clement, Origen, Gregory of Nyssa, and Pseudo-Dionysius. Both the terminology and the argumentative structure will be examined in each author and important connections among themselves and with ‘pagan’ Neoplatonists (including Plotinus, Porphyry, and Proclus) will be drawn. The reciprocal interrelations among epoptics, ἔρως and ἀγάπη, epektasis, and ἐπιστροφή and ἀποκατάστασις will be pointed out. The article will argue for the intended double-reference strategy to both ‘pagan’ and Christian Platonism, as well as Dionysius’ veiled response to Porphyry qua accuser of Origen, and the meaning of the charge, levelled against Dionysius himself, of “making unholy use of Greek things”—which is what ‘pagans’ had already charged Origen with. Dionysius retorted, “it is the Greeks who make unholy use of godly things to attack God!”, and this is again what Origen had responded.
本文研究了一组希腊教父神学家的神秘主义,他们深受哲学的影响,尤其是帝国柏拉图主义:克莱门特、奥利金、尼萨的格里高利和伪狄奥尼修斯。每个作者的术语和论证结构都将被检查,他们之间以及与“异教”新柏拉图主义者(包括普罗提诺,波菲利和普罗克劳斯)的重要联系将被绘制。指出了epoptics、φ ρως和φ γ α α ασ τ τασις、epektasis以及φ πιστροφή和φ ποκα α ασις之间的相互关系。这篇文章将讨论“异教”和基督教柏拉图主义的双重参考策略,以及狄奥尼修斯对波菲利对奥利金的指控的隐晦回应,以及对狄奥尼修斯本人的指控的意义,即“邪恶地使用希腊事物”——这是“异教徒”已经指控奥利金的。狄奥尼修斯反驳说:“是希腊人用神圣的东西来攻击上帝!这也是奥利金的回答。

The negative capacity is essential to creative thinking; we find it in the transcendentalism of the Judaeo-Christian tradition, though the Neoplatonist explanation of unknowing goes far further than simply pointing to the beyond; the idea of aura provides some understanding of how a word retains its influence even when negated; words or names are crucial in the move upwards in the mystical journey, and in the Neoplatonist and Christian tradition names or words are said to be fundamental, despite the via negativa; the linguistic ontology of Platonism underpins the existence of the names: but we do not have to believe in the ontic status of names for their aura to operate as we meditate over them.
消极能力对创造性思维至关重要;我们可以在犹太-基督教传统的先验主义中找到它,尽管新柏拉图主义对未知的解释远不止简单地指向彼岸;光环的概念提供了一些理解,一个词如何保持其影响力,即使被否定;在神秘的旅程中,单词或名字是至关重要的,在新柏拉图主义和基督教传统中,名字或单词被认为是基本的,尽管有消极的途径;柏拉图主义的语言本体论支撑了名字的存在:但我们不必相信名字的本体地位,因为当我们沉思它们时,它们的光环就会起作用。

This paper traces the history of the negative theology of YHWH from the beginning of the integration of YHWH into the Canaanite pantheon to the post-exilic period in the Torah through the interpretation of the Shema’ Israel from its mono-Yahwistic understanding to monotheism as an expression of God’s freedom. In the second step, the development of negative theology is traced from the pre-exilic proverbs, which understand God as a limit of knowledge, to negative theology in the Book of Job and Qohelet, as well as the overcoming of negative theology in the paradise-narrative in Genesis 2–3 through the freedom of choice granted to man by God.
本文追溯了耶和华负面神学的历史,从耶和华融入迦南万神殿开始,到《托拉》中的后流放时期,通过对以色列示玛的解释,从对一神论的理解到一神论作为上帝自由的表达。第二步,消极神学的发展从被流放前的箴言(将上帝理解为知识的极限)到《约伯记》和《圣训》中的消极神学,以及《创世纪》2-3章中通过上帝赋予人类选择的自由,对消极神学的克服。
