{"title":"A Thomish Epistemic Cartography of the Question “Can We Know God?”","authors":"T. A. Van Wart","doi":"10.1111/moth.12943","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/moth.12943","url":null,"abstract":"The following article maps the various ways in which the expressions “knowledge” and “to know” are diversely used with reference to the Triune Lord of historic Christian orthodoxy. The reason for this epistemic cartography of Christian grammar stems from a desire to help dissolve and bring quiet to the decades of confusion that have arisen in theological conversation as a function of the failure to specify just what one means by the relevant terms (chiefly, “knowledge” and “to know”) in questions like “Can we know God?” I therefore list the various ways “to know” and “knowledge” are traditionally used to give shape both to the differing versions of the question “Can we know God?” and to their respective answers as displayed within the grammar of the Christian faith. Making use of St. Thomas Aquinas's contributions when helpful, the resulting analysis yields that, though we can truly say it is possible for us to know or have knowledge of God that is of the unitive, conventional, demonstrative, and nominative sort (i.e., the form of the question under those intentional conditions leads to an affirmative answer), we can in no way meaningfully assert the same of definitional knowledge with respect to God. Through God's self‐revelation in/as Jesus Christ, however, I argue that an infallible and superlative expansion of the possibilities for our unitive, conventional, demonstrative, and nominative knowledge of God is on offer.","PeriodicalId":507104,"journal":{"name":"Modern Theology","volume":"60 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140670737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Undoubtedly, Hans Holbein the Younger's double portrait “The Ambassadors” (1533) is the best‐known visual example: if one looks directly at the canvas in the National Gallery in London, one sees a diagonal blur across its bottom center, beneath Jean de Dinteville (1504‐1555), French Ambassador to London, and Georges de Selve (1508‐1541), Bishop of Lavaur and French Ambassador to the Republic of Venice. Only when one views the blur from a particular point—either low on the left‐hand side or high on the right‐hand side—can one see that it is a skull. The vanity of human achievement or, worse, human pride, is made manifest only when the artwork is viewed from a perspective that one is constrained to adopt. The sole sign of hope is a crucifix in the top left of the canvas.","PeriodicalId":507104,"journal":{"name":"Modern Theology","volume":"23 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140368532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
