Theologians reject negativity inside God just as they rejected negativity within Aristotle’s Prime Mover

Evidence

Such objections, for the most part, rest on the same arguments offered against the Hegelian reading of Aristotle. It is in fact the introduction of negativity into God which seems unacceptable to the theologians. Just as the Hegelian recognition of negativity within the Prime Mover appeared to betray its ontological meaning, so the application of the logical dialectic to the heart of the Trinity imports into the essential being of the God of revelation an inconceivable injury. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 636
