Transcendence
(redirected from Transcedental)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
Transcendence 

a philosophical term that designates—in contrast to immanence—what is beyond the world of phenomena and is inaccessible to theoretical cognition. The term was used in this sense by I. Kant in the works of his critical period (see Soch., vol. 3, Moscow, 1964, p. 338). Kant distinguishes—although not always consistently—the transcendent from the transcendental. God, the soul, and immortality are regarded by Kant as transcendent; in his view, while transcendent objects lie beyond the bounds of theoretical cognition, they can be apprehended by faith, supported by the postulates of practical reason. The concept of transcendence has no place in Marxist philosophy.

WILHELM UHDE - ANOTHER GREAT GERMAN CRITIC, AND A FRIEND OF MEIER-GRAEFE'S - THOUGHT THAT SUCH INRICATE MYSTICAL ART SHOWED "GOTHIC FEELING" - THE GERMANIC FEELING FOR BEING, EXPRESSING TRANSCEDENTAL EROS' "TRAGIC IMPATIENCE" WITH "BANAL REALITY," AND THE DESIRE TO "TRANSFIGURE" REALTY IN ART.
He follows this up with a diagnosis--simply astonishing before 1914--of what was the trouble in the German soul: The transcedental theory of a world merely imagined by the ego, and the will that deems itself absolute, are certainly desperate delusions .
