- Description
- The allegory of ParsPT assumes that literature can somehow represent truth, while the theology of ParsPT emphasizes the impossibility of humanity's comprehending such truth. Ret espouses a mediating negative allegory that indicates divine ineffability and thereby equates secular and sacred poetries as limited--and equivalent--means to truth.
