'Negating Negation' critically examines key concepts in the corpus
of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite: divine names and perceptible
symbols; removal and negation; hierarchy and hierurgy; ineffability
and incomprehensibility. In each case it argues that the Dionysian
corpus does not negate all things of an absolutely ineffable God;
rather, it negates few things of a God that is effable in important
ways. Dionysian divine names are not inadequate metaphors or
impotent attributes but transcendent divine causes. Divine names
are not therefore flatly negated of God but removed as ordinary
properties to be revealed as divine causes. It is concluded that
since the Dionysian corpus does not abandon all things to
apophasis, it cannot be called to testify on behalf of (post)modern
projects in religious pluralism and anti-ontotheology. Quite the
contrary, the Dionysian corpus gives reason for suspicion of such
projects, especially when they relativize or metaphorize religious
belief and practice in the name of absolute ineffability.
