Despite that, philosophy is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eless successful in providing universally satisfying discourses about the divine, not\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealways appealing to theologians and those who seek the divine through experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thinking about the divine in philosophy pertains, therefore, less to the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003equestion of the divine. It incites a task of critical examination of the ways of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethinking beyond in philosophy. Especially interesting for me here is the way of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexaggeration. Traditional examples employ exaggeration in the figurative language\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof hyperbole to overemphasize the divine beyond the human. The hyperbolic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexpressions facilitate the thinking beyond, for instance, in assigning God\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esuperlative attributes, surpassing the human limitations. However, as Thomas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowne points out, the hyperbole \"reach not the portal of divinity\":\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781805243380\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781805243380","offer_id":46355360219461,"sku":"9781805243380","price":78.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d0b4b5bb-52cb-443b-914a-966bb390779a.jpg?v=1713943737","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/criticism-of-exaggeration-von-ervik-cejvan","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
