| 總結: | This article investigates the interplay of cataphatic and apophatic theology in the works of Denys (Pseudo-Dionysius) and Aquinas.

This classical theological understanding of ‘speech’ and ‘silence’ is set against two contemporary presentations of apophaticism as found in the writings of Jacques Derrida and Anthony Kenny. |
