| Summary: | In article attempts to explore the relationship of contemporary american philosopher Eugene Thacker to apophatic theology, which is the cornerstone for almost all of his works. Throughout the history of philosophical thought life is always determined by something else: the form, process, time, motion, and so on. The Aristotelian soul (life-itself) as the form of living, which remains at the same unthinkable beyond specific creatures, pursuing a philosophical discourse in his attempts to talk about life itself. The Apophatic logic provides the prospect of understanding the concept of life beyond the concrete creatures. The divine nature of the negative theology is not interpreted in limits of Being or Non-being, because it is the "Superlative Life" as an absolute Nothing, and that is the limit of any ontology of life. Thacker concludes that thought of life itself is possible only through its own negation. There have also been revealed the main docking between apophatic theology and the horror genre in latest Thacker’s works.
