How can we know the God who transcends human categories and ways of knowing?
Some thinkers have said that we can only have "negative" knowledge about God: that the only thing we can say of Him is that He is not like the things of this world.
But is it possible to go beyond that, and, if so, how?
This episode also includes a discussion of the following:
- How negative theology paved the way for mysticism, both in the western church but especially in the Eastern (Orthodox) church.
- The meaning of icons
- How analogical knowledge of God works.
- How pseudo-Dionysius, Maimonides and Aquinas answered the problem of how we can know God.
