Dionysius, the Dark Night of the Soul, Mystical TheologyAbstract
It must be acknowledged that the pursuit of the essence of God is an excessively ambitious endeavor for human reason, as God is the ultimate source of all reality and transcends everything. However, to some extent, experiencing or perceiving that essence becomes feasible when humans are led into or elevated to the realm of transcendence. This is precisely what Dionysius expresses in his work "Mystical Theology" and his letters. This article aims to interpret this idea through the first chapter of "Mystical Theology," with a particular focus on his prayers.
