Negative Theory
Isaac Frank undertook one of the integral tasks to compare the proponents of negative theology as envisioned by Maimonides and Aquinas. Besides, he defends the negative theology from contemporary criticisms. According to Frank, Negative theology refers to a doctrine that does not defend the positive attributes of any being and thus they are predictable of God existence (Buijs 723). God is entirely unknowable or unknown, and therefore their logical argument or reasoning is to say what God is not.
Aquinas and Maimonides have a different way of approaching logical relations between epistemic thesis and the semantic thesis. Maimonides makes his argument from one thesis and then transfers his conclusion to the next (Buijs 731). For instance, he starts with the epistemic thesis ENT and then concludes with the semantic theory SNT. Maimonides concludes that humans cannot be able to describe Him conclusively since they do not know him (Buijs 731). This is because one cannot use the attribute of action as a means of expressing its essence. Such descriptions do not follow the associated reasoning implying that predicting such characteristics of God will not violate the ENT and SNT reasoning.
Contrary, Aquinas handles Semantic and epistemic claims entirely independent from one another. Thought they are derived from the metaphysics of God, and he cannot establish a logical connection between them, he capital…
