Course description
begin with an exploration of the nature of the God whom one may wish to address and about whom one may wish to speak. We shall discuss the “God of the philosophers”, the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” and some of the difficulties that emerge from each of these conceptions. We shall focus on the difficulty to speak about “that than which nothing greater can be conceived”, as Maimonides, Aquinas and the early Wittgenstein comprehend it. We shall also discuss some of the difficulties that are involved in addressing and maintaining a relationship with “the great the mighty, and the awesome God” as He reveals Himself to Job.
