Abstract

This study aims to propose a paradigm of understanding the work of Nicolaus Cusanus from the perspective of an approach that involved philosophy, mathematics and theology. Cusanus set out to define the infinite sacred space, with din arguments of geometry, capable of explaining the divine attributes, and demonstrating the possibility of the self-censorship of the divine infinity, in the finite, measurable space of creation. Cusanus approach involved the use of a special type of expression, which involves the use of mathematical elements in theological discourse, an original approach that he himself called transsumptive. The simplest elements of geometry, the point and the line are used in a fascinating demonstration of the theological and mathematical relationship between unity and Multiplicity, which revolutionized the understanding of the Anthropology of Christian Sacred Space.
