Man talks about divinity. The sphere of meanings referring to divinity accompanies the history of human communities. Speaking of divinity remains a way humans express themselves, even when such speaking is recognized as the language of divinity itself. In this article, a research project devoted to divinity is formulated on the basis of four premises. The first step is to move the research from the problem of speech about divinity to the problem of the meaning of speech about divinity, or, in other words, from the metaphysics of divinity to semantics. Secondly, speaking about God is inevitably paradoxical in character; it is speech that contains opposites or even contradictions. The third premise is that none of the distinguishable ways of creating meaning about divinity constitutes a closed, complete whole. Talking about divinity is not only a religious discourse, but also engages concepts shaped in the field of philosophy. Finally, the fourth premise: speech about divinity should not be considered without relating it to what is expressed with its help. The text asks if it is possible to create a topos of divinity on the basis of these four premises. premises formulated above.

The article poses a question about the ontic status of metaphorical statements. The answer to this question will affect not only the way of understanding metaphor itself, but will ultimately also affect the shape of anthropological research (including the study of religion). The starting point for these considerations is Ricoeur's theory of metaphorical expressions, which draws on the interactive school of reflection on metaphor (Ivor Armstrong Richards, Max Black, Monroe C. Beardsley). Research on the ontic status of metaphor is founded on the distinction between the sense and the reference of a metaphorical statement. The key thesis around which these considerations revolve is as follows: metaphorical expressions say something new about reality. The text ends with analyses devoted to the question of the truthfulness of metaphorical statements.
