Hi miss,
I was struggling to hear in the video podcast, did you say the word ‘negation’ is a key word? Is that the correct spelling? Also, how do you spell Via Emencia please? And is that somethign that Aquinas supported.Hi Sarah,
I don’t think ‘negation’ would be a key word for RL just more mature language. I am guessing it is when I say: “Whilst not believing in God, they use via negativa to convey the essence of ultimate reality, which cannot be described except as the negation of things we know from the physical world.” Negation in this sense means to deny, so in this sense a denial of things in this world to understand an ultimate reality.
Spelling: ‘via eminentiae’. Yes Aquinas supports this to show that what we say and know of God is limited 🙂
