The Linguistic Impossibility of the Divine: Language as the Inherent Corruption of Absolute Being

This paper argues for a novel thesis in philosophy of language and philosophy of religion: that language itself renders impossible any genuine encounter with, description of, or reference to infinite, perfect, or omnipotent beings. Unlike traditional arguments against divine attributes that focus on logical contradictions between properties (omnipotence paradoxes, problem of evil), this paper demonstrates that the very act of linguistic engagement with the concept of the divine necessarily corrupts and limits any absolute being. Drawing on insights from Wittgenstein's philosophy of language, Derrida's deconstruction, and original analysis of the performative contradictions inherent in theological discourse, we establish that the linguistic prerequisite for conflict makes any "speakable paradise" logically impossible. This constitutes an original contribution to both negative theology and philosophy of language, providing a new foundation for understanding why mystical traditions consistently emphasize the ineffability of the divine.
