| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to investigate the development of the negative theology from its origin to Nicolaus Cusanus in Western philosophy. In terms of the fact that God belongs to nothing in the world and can not be defined by the words or thoughts, the negative theology attempts to approach God by speaking of Him only what He is not (negation or apophysis). For this reason we must be beyond our thinking and speaking in order to get some truth about God . From this it is called in question how the negative theology is related to the affirmative approach to God or to a silence for God. Such things about the negative theology in ancient and medieval Western philosophy are considered in this study.
