Example text

As John Jones puts it, this level of negative theology is not ‘one logos among many’ but ‘the denial of all logos’. 100 Whilst there is a sense of Dionysian negative theology of which Derrida’s claim that it is onto-theological is true, there is a further sense in which the first mode is negated, and which falsifies Derrida’s claim. Dionysius predicates Being analogically of God, but goes on to deny that predication as such is applicable to him. Many commentators have followed Derrida in arguing that deconstruction differs from negative theology insofar as the latter is a species of onto-theology.

Deconstruction, in this sense, is to the Western metaphysical tradition 30 Towards a Christian Literary Theory what negative theology is to any given theological tradition. Derrida is right to say that deconstruction knows no concept of revelation as such, but wrong to imply that it is thereby less relatively determined than negative theology. Both discourses question the limits of the referential function of the texts of previous systems of thought with respect to fundamental realities, and do so entirely within the context of these texts.

I am now in a position to sum up my conclusions with respect to the relationship between deconstruction and negative theology.
