摘要

消极能力对创造性思维至关重要;我们可以在犹太-基督教传统的先验主义中找到它，尽管新柏拉图主义对未知的解释远不止简单地指向彼岸;光环的概念提供了一些理解，一个词如何保持其影响力，即使被否定;在神秘的旅程中，单词或名字是至关重要的，在新柏拉图主义和基督教传统中，名字或单词被认为是基本的，尽管有消极的途径;柏拉图主义的语言本体论支撑了名字的存在:但我们不必相信名字的本体地位，因为当我们沉思它们时，它们的光环就会起作用。

The Via Negativa and the Aura of Words

The negative capacity is essential to creative thinking; we find it in the transcendentalism of the Judaeo-Christian tradition, though the Neoplatonist explanation of unknowing goes far further than simply pointing to the beyond; the idea of aura provides some understanding of how a word retains its influence even when negated; words or names are crucial in the move upwards in the mystical journey, and in the Neoplatonist and Christian tradition names or words are said to be fundamental, despite the via negativa; the linguistic ontology of Platonism underpins the existence of the names: but we do not have to believe in the ontic status of names for their aura to operate as we meditate over them.

期刊介绍： Published since 2002, "Verbum Vitae" is issued biannually by the Institute of Biblical Studies of the Faculty of Theology, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland. Each issue of the journal includes scholarly articles dedicated to a specific biblical theme and presented in three sections: (I) Old Testament, (II) New Testament, and (III) Patristics and the Life of the Church. The final "Life of the Church" perspective tries to broaden out each issue''s given topic into its multiple connections and implications, mostly dogmatic, moral, pastoral, liturgical, or sociological. The forth section of the journal always consists of reviews of recently published monographs and collections on biblical themes. Because of the journal''s interdisciplinary character, it seeks to include among the contributors not only biblical scholars but also theologians of various specializations.
