A Philosophy of the Unsayable

Hart, Kevin

Pages: 17 –22

[This chapter questions what William Franke understands by “a philosophy of the unsayable.” Apophatic practice is traditionally tied to theology, not philosophy, and is a practice in which the loving soul seeks to gain unity with God not by knowledge but by repentance and love. Yet there is also...

Simmons, J. Aaron

William Franke and the Unfinished Philosophical Revolution of the West

Hackett, William C.

Bhatawadekar, Sai

Pages: 57 –70

Is There a Logic of the Ineffable? Or, How Is it Possible to Talk About the Unsayable?

Palmquist, Stephen

Pages: 71 –80

[This chapter defends a single, fixed, definite answer to the question: Is there a logic that governs the unsayable? The proposed answer is: “Yes, and no. Or yes-but-not-yes. And/or yes-no.” Each component of this answer is examined and used to generate three laws of what Palmquist terms...

Betwixt and Amidst: Mixed Genres of Sophia

Franke, William

Pages: 81 –103

[What emerges from these responses to A Philosophy of the Unsayable as the major issue that is raised but left unresolved Franke translates as the question of the universalism of apophasis as a way or a path of thinking. This issue is raised particularly under the rubric of “philosophy.”...

Is Hegel an Apophatic Thinker?

Brown, Nahum

Pages: 107 –129

[William Franke presents Hegel as an especially complicated figure for the history of apophatic thinking in the West. On the one hand, Hegel symbolizes the antithesis of apophatic thought. He is the philosopher of the articulated whole, the great synthesizer for whom everything can and must be...

Hegel and the Negation of the Apophatic

Hass, Andrew W.

Pages: 131 –161

[This chapter looks at the strained yet fecund relationship between Hegel and the apophatic. For on the one hand Hegel is known as the champion of revelation, of enunciated truth in its most manifest expression as world Spirit. Yet, on the other hand, this manifestation is regulated by an...

Infinite Reduplication: Kierkegaard’s Negative Concept of God

Kline, Peter

Pages: 163 –184

[This chapter offers an interpretation of Kierkegaard’s conceptualization of God as “infinite reduplication.” Kline locates this conceptualization in relation to the Hegelian notion of God as “absolute Spirit.” What emerges is an apophatic articulation of divine subjectivity. For Kierkegaard, God...
