One can distinguish such language from the denial of all beings. This is indicated by negation and negations.2 Jones's essay is a sustained attempt to examine the possibility of self-negation in pseudo-Dionysius and one of the few attempts to delineate various modes of negative language in his thought-a delineation surely necessary, considering that Neoplatonist philosophers explicitly recognized how varying kinds of negative language function differently.
