Apophatic theology was one of my early drawing-in points to
Orthodoxy back-in-the-day. It was the most ... logical (I guess)
to me that one could best describe the indescribable by using
"not" instead of "is".
After all, once you have a term like uncircumscribed... and THEN
you try to circumscribe... well....
and yes of course by even using a term like uncircumscribed *is
circumscribing* by it being a concept... but even in the church
fathers, they repeatedly (that I remember) remind the reader
that, they're using the terminology as a lesser form of language
as it were.... pointers to unknowable knowledge but not the
knowlege itself, which is experiential in nature etc.
