Maimonides goes so far as to assert that any affirmative proclamation of God's attributes implies atheism on the part of the speaker, as the speaker claims to 'capture' God with a description bounded within human language, and thus negates the notion of God as ineffable and therefore omnipotent.
Discuss briefly the apophatic framework described by Maimonides, then apply this framework as a Marxist dialectic to modern rhetorics of capital and recent worker's rights discourses as described by Cohen, et. al. How might a Marxian 'negative theology' describe capital and class relations?"
