The article examines the origins and development of apophatic discourse. The difference between apophatics and cataphatics is defined, two objects of apophatics are fixed, the closeness of apophatic and mystical discourses is noted. The stages of the formation of the apophatic tradition from Plato and Aristotle to Plotinus, Proclus and Damascus, Dionysius the Areopagite and Nicholas of Cusa are considered. It is concluded that the apophatic tradition determined the epistemological and linguistic boundaries, but at the same time it designated irrational ways of comprehending what lies beyond the ordinary world.
