Within this book, we wish to clarify, with the help of the Blessed Name, two inquiries as is proper. The first concerns the existence of the Blessed Name in absolute negation likely referring to the "via negativa" or "negative theology," which defines God by what He is not and the decisive proof for this from all the proofs that have been said regarding it. The second is whether the Blessed One has attributes attributes: te'arim, the philosophical question of whether qualities like "wisdom" or "power" are distinct from God's essence additional to His essence, according to the opinion of the Scholastic Theologians original: Ha-Medabberim, referring to the practitioners of Kalam, a school of Islamic and Jewish dialectical theology and the scholars of the Torah. Regarding this, we shall investigate through the path of proper inquiry.
