PHIL 523 - The Names of God

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PHIL - Philosophy

Description:

Aristotle tells us that we name things as we know them, and that our knowledge begins with the senses. If so, can the language we fashion apply to God? How? After a glance at antiquity, we will discuss various medieval responses to these questions, giving special attention to Pseudo-Dionysius, Eriugena, Anselm, Maimonides, and Aquinas.
