Sommario/riassunto

This book delves into the ethics of apophasis across ancient Indian philosophy, pre-Socratic Greek thinkers, and early medieval Christianity. The chapters explore apophasis in the Upanishads, the Rig Veda, and Sankara’s Advaita Vedanta. The author also offers insights into the evolution of apophasis in the Western tradition, moving from Heraclitus and early Christianity to medieval Christianity. An insightful exploration provides a rich dialogue between traditions and makes it an interesting read for scholars and students worldwide in theology and philosophy.
