Abstract:
The difficulty of extracting multiple concepts from an indivisible essence is one of the main motivation of interest to negative theology. On the other side, believing in the identity of the essence and attributes of God without clarifying the nature of ascribing of attributes to God’s essence is not precise, too. In spite of the variety of solutions to this issue, it seems no one is satisfiable. In this paper, after examining these solutions, we will show that, according to the fact that God is the origin and source of all perfections and the fact that the grantor does not lack the thing he grants, we can ascribe the attributes purified from defects to God although we dont know the nature of this ascription.
