Languages of ineffability: the rediscovery of apophaticism in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion

, &

Abstract

I present and discuss recent work in analytic philosophy of religion on apophaticism and divine ineffability. I focus on three questions: how can we call God ineffable without contradicting ourselves? How can we refer to an ineffable God? What is the point of talking about an ineffable God?
