One of the central arguments of post-metaphysical theology is that
language is inherently 'metaphysical' and consequently that it
shoehorns objects into predetermined categories. Because God is
beyond such categories, it follows that language cannot apply to
God. Drawing on recent work in theology and philosophy of language,
Kevin Hector develops an alternative account of language and its
relation to God, demonstrating that one need not choose between
fitting God into a metaphysical framework, on the one hand, and
keeping God at a distance from language, on the other. Hector thus
elaborates a 'therapeutic' response to metaphysics: given the
extent to which metaphysical presuppositions about language have
become embedded in common sense, he argues that metaphysics can be
fully overcome only by defending an alternative account of language
and its application to God, so as to strip such presuppositions of
their apparent self-evidence and release us from their grip.
