The book explores the way in which apophatic discourse of negative
theology has illuminated contemporary critical theory. It
demonstrates the significance of apophasis both in Jacques
Derrida's search for a "new language", responsive to singularity
and alterity, and in the analyses of the experience of
transgression, developed by Maurice Blanchot, George Bataille and
Michel Foucault. Following Derrida's understanding of negative
theology as a transgressive concept that transcends the linguistic,
historical and religious contexts from which it arises, the book
proves that apophasis is not merely a discourse on language
restricted to one theological tradition, but should be viewed as a
mode of dialogue and openness, essential to all responsible
thinking.
