Who this is
“Philosophy's most successful forgery — a book that lied about its author for a thousand years while telling the truth about the limits of language.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“God is beyond every name we can utter — beyond "good," beyond "being," beyond even "One" — so the deepest knowledge of God is a disciplined, luminous unknowing.”
