The Principle of Contractio in Nicholas of Cusa's Philosophical View of Man

THE April 1974issue of THE DOWNSIDE REVIEW contained an article by Donald F. Duclow entitled 'Gregory of Nyssa and Nicholas ofCusa: Infinity, Anthropology and the Via Negativa', This article provided an excellent analysis of the epistemological consequences of Nicholas ofCusa's viewof the relation between man and God. Duclow showed how 'the concept of infinity mediates between the metaphysics of the via negativa and the anthropology of the limit-situation'.' The results of this study indicated that the via negativa is not entirely negative when used as a tool in the theological attempt to understand the concept of the infinite.
