From Feser's Blog: Tugwell on St. Albert on negative theology
Quote:Negative theology is a crucial component of classical theism. To a first approximation, the idea is that at least with respect to some aspects of the divine nature, we can say what God is not rather than what he is. But again, that is only a first approximation, and a potentially misleading one at that. In his long and substantive introduction to the spiritual theology of St. Albert the Great in Albert and Thomas: Selected Writings, Fr. Simon Tugwell makes some important observations about the matter. I want to call attention to four of them.
