Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite is the name given to an anonymous late antique Christian writer whose works combine Christian theology with Neoplatonic philosophy. The Mystical Theology describes an approach to God through negation and unknowing, while The Divine Names examines how language about goodness, being and other attributes can refer to a transcendent deity.

The writing is compact, symbolic and difficult, with paradox used deliberately to push language beyond straightforward description. These texts suit readers of Christian mysticism, negative theology, Neoplatonism and medieval spiritual thought. Read more Less
