Negative theology - also known as the Via Negativa (
Latin for "Negative Way") and Apophatic theology - is a
theology that attempts to describe
God by
negation, to speak of God only in terms of what may not be said about God. In brief, the attempt is to gain and express knowledge of God by describing what God is not (
apophasis), rather than by describing what God is. The apophatic tradition is often, though not always, allied with the approach of
mysticism, which focuses on a spontaneous or cultivated individual experience of the divine reality beyond the realm of
ordinary perception, an experience often unmediated by the structures of traditional
organized religion or learned thought and behavior.
