This is the first commentary to have been written on Nicholas of Cusa's most famous work, On Learned Ignorance. This fact testifies to the difficulty of what has long been recognized to be the most significant philosophical text produced by the Renaissance. While there are many passages in the work that can be cited in support of Cassirer's celebration of Cusanus as the first modern philosopher, that judgment is challenged by the way his work is rooted in a faith and a tradition likely to strike us as thoroughly medieval. This commentary shows how closely the two are linked. Despite the many ways in which what the cardinal has to say belongs to a past that the progress of reason would seem to have left irrecoverably behind, it yet provides us with a continuing challenge. Key to On Learned Ignorance is the incommensurability of the infinite and the finite, of God and creation. Cusanus lets us recognize the essential transcendence of reality, so different from the ontology implied by Descartes' insistence on clear and distinct understanding, which has presided over the progress of science and has helped shape our world. What makes Cusanus' thought important is not the way it anticipates modernity, but the way it challenges often taken-for-granted presuppositions of our worldview, most importantly a distinctly modern self-assertion or self-elevation that has made our human reason the measure of reality. If it is impossible to deny the countless ways in which our science and technology have given us ever deeper insights into the mysteries of nature and improved our lives, it is equally impossible to deny that this very progress today endangers this fragile earth and the quality of our lives. Cusanus can help us preserve our humanity.

I first encountered the mystical logic of Nicholas of Cusa when I read S.L. Frank's magnificent (and under appreciated) volume, The Unknowable. I was both mesmerized and haunted by Cusa's koan-like summation of his philosophy when he wrote, "The Unattainable is Attained by its Unattainment." As Socrates and other mystic-philosophers before him, Nicholas of Cusa had realized through mathematics and geometry that infinity cannot be comprehended by that which is finite. Thus what is the best way to "know" that which exceeds us? By being profoundly learned in our own ignorance and understanding that "unknowingness" is the only pathway before us.This volume contains two elemental writings from Nicholas of Cusa: Dialogue on the Hidden God and key excerpts from On Learned Ignorance. Both of these readings deserve a very close reading, since Cusa wrote in a compacted, yet deeply pregnant, fashion, providing an intellectual landscape of precious jewels of inquiry. I have now read Nicholas of Cusa for nearly four decades and each time I find something new to contemplate. We have bookended Cusa's two selections with essays that were deeply influenced by his thinking. The first is entitled The Mystical Dimension and demonstrates that even as science progresses over time, there will still remain a Mystery given the limits of our cranial capacities and given the parameters of the universe's spatial and time specific dimensions. The second essay, The Cerebral Mirage, is by Professor Andrea Diem and touches upon neuroscience and evolution, illustrating how easy it is for us to be deceived not only by others but also by the very make-up of our neurology. In this regard, we must be keenly aware not to confuse our present brain state (and what it conveys via its filtration system) with absolute reality. Simply put, don't confuse map-making with the actual territory itself. The former is a navigating and useful tool but as such can only lead so far. Nicholas of Cusa is perhaps the most radical thinker to remain within the Roman Catholic Church and not get excommunicated. It is surprising that he was not regarded as a heretic for his revolutionary ideas. As Giordano Bruno commented about him, "Had [he] not been hindered by his priest's vestment, he would have even been greater than Pythagoras!"

In these papers Duclow views the thought of Eriugena, Eckhart and Cusanus through the lens of contemporary philosophical hermeneutics. He highlights the interplay of creativity, symbolic expression and language, interpretation and silence as they comment on the mind's work in naming God. This work itself becomes mystical theology when negation opens into a silent awareness of God's presence, from which the Word once again 'speaks' within the mind. Comparative studies with Gregory of Nyssa, Pseudo-Dionysius, Anselm and Hadewijch suggest the book's wider implications for medieval philosophy and theology.

Cusa's mystical-religious philosophy was set forth in his essays De Docta Ignorantia (Of Learned Ignorance), which was published in 1440. This work consists of three books: the first deals with God (the Self Maximus considered absolutely), the second deals with the universe (Self maximum contracted in the Plurality of Things), and the third of Jesus Christ (Self up as contracted and all at once). The title -which is an oxymoron- has a deep significance. On the one hand it relates to Socrates' irony -"I only know that I know nothing"- in the belief that it is impossible for a student to deepen his knowledge in his search for truth. It is also a negative theology, the recognition that the Being of God cannot be reached by our understanding. Our current edition presents an illustrated version of the First Book
