The article deals with the category of double negation, representative of the apophatic theology. It begins with mystical theologies of Maimonides and Meister Eckhart. Next, the article presents the category in question from quite a different perspective – it attempts to place it in the context of the ontological relationship between the finite and the infinite and look at it from a “positive” angle. Although, the “negation of negation” as the element of (negative) mystical contemplation remains beyond rational interpretation (as mystical experience in general), this category can, in fact, be “grasped” in type of metaanalysis, i.e. as a philosophical and theological category.
