Save the Name of God?: Beyond the "Corpus" of Theology

Abstract

Apophatic or negative theology, which suggests that one can only
talk to God through negations, has exerted a particular
fascination over contemporary thought. In this article, we link
this fascination with negation that assumes the death of God and
also with the paradoxical process of secularization experienced
throughout the West. Through the reading of negative theology
performed by Jacques Derrida, we will observe how notions like
text or name of God are reformulated and then we will question
the limits of theological corpus.
