In seeking a language for the inexpressible, drawing on Dionysus the Areopagite, he developed the concept of a negative-positive theology. This study analyzes Eriugena’s ‘hypertheology’ and also includes a new translation of key passages from the Periphyseon. Its intended audience includes philosophers and theologians as well as philologists.
