- Title
Negative Theology in Marguerite Porete and Jacques Derrida.
- Authors
Lichtman, Maria
- Abstract
The article reports that a theology, both atheistic and theistic yet profoundly religious, is reminiscent of the theistic tradition of negative theology in the West since Plato. While Taylor's themes clarify much of the postmodern situation, in particular the work of Jacques Derrida as the chief spokesperson of the postmodern movement known as deconstruction, they also inadvertently and retrospectively shed light on the negative theology of a little-known mystic of the fourteenth century Marguerite Porete.
