Negative theology is a philosophical approach that seeks to describe the divine by emphasizing what cannot be said about it. Instead of defining God through positive attributes, such as "good" or "powerful," negative theology focuses on negation, asserting that God transcends human understanding and language. This method highlights the limitations of human concepts when trying to grasp the divine essence. This approach is often associated with figures like Pseud Dionysius the Areopagite and Maimonides, who argued that God is ultimately unknowable. By using terms like "infinite" or "beyond comprehension," negative theology encourages believers to embrace mystery and humility in their spiritual understanding.
