Karşıtların Birliği: Bilinmeyerek Bilinen Tanrı

But Reason strives universally in this: to persuade and to prove through certain investigations of truth that nothing can be said properly of God, since He surpasses every intellect and all sensible and intelligible significations. He is better known by not knowing; the ignorance of Him is true wisdom. He is more truly and faithfully denied in all things than He is affirmed. For whatever you deny of Him, you will deny truly; but not everything you affirm will you affirm truly. Indeed, if you should assert that He is this or that, you will be convicted of falsehood, because He is none of those things which exist, which can be spoken of, or understood. But if you pronounce that He is neither this, nor that, nor any other thing, you will be seen to be truthful, because He is none of the things that are, nor the things that are not. No one can approach Him unless, having first strengthened the journey of the mind, they leave behind all senses, intellectual operations, sensible things, and everything that is and is not; and so, as far as is possible, be restored in a state of unknowing to the unity of Him who is above all essence and intelligence.
