Apophaticism and Experience in Orthodox Theology and Quantum Mechanics

by Stoyan Tanev

The objective of this text is to engage in a comparative analysis of the role apophaticism plays in two very different contexts—Orthodox theology and quantum mechanics. Why quantum mechanics? Isn’t it one of the most successful theories in physics? How could we be ‘apophatic’ about one of the most successful theories of physics, one hundred years after its invention?
