“We have lost the sense of this higher order, and things will get worse and worse, culminating perhaps in a nuclear holocaust – the destruction predicted in the Apocalyptic texts. Only our apocalypse will be absurd and ridiculous because it will not be related to any transcendence.”

– Eugène Ionesco, writer, from an interview in 1984

This is a natural way to get rid of the feeling of self-importance, because if you shift the focus of your attention to a certain Transcendence, you feel your insignificance, which is very useful in various everyday situations.

Comment from the article: “You will soon invent Kant, if you deal with transcendence. But before that, we need to resolve the scholastic dispute – is it possible to think nonexistent? And does everything conceivable existing?”

The idea of the Transcendent in the history of human culture (V. Ya. Kudashov, in Russian)

“The idea of the 'transcendent' belongs to the range of fundamental meanings of human existence, expressing some organic aspiration inherent in our consciousness. This immanence is confirmed by the fact that the idea of the ‘transcendent’ has been present in our consciousness since ancient times, taking on different forms in it. Moreover, the religious meaning of the transcendent is only one of the forms of existence of this idea.

The word ‘transcendent’ (from the Latin transcendere, which is a combination of trans —‘beyond’ and scandere – ‘to climb’) we denote a set of meanings that, despite the variety of ways of their comprehension (thought, religious faith, experience, intuition, mystical experience), express certain aspects of the limitations of our world: perception, experience, thinking; and the presence of a transcendent being – outside the boundaries of our world – superempirical, superphysical, the supernatural.”

Transcendence in psychology (link in Russian)

“The red thread in the conversation about transcendence is the search for the meaning of life. It can be different – to survive, to have children, to write a book, to present a new idea to society, or to protect the poor from starvation.

Transcendence can also have another connotation – unity with all living things or with people with whom you have something in common. This aspect comes from the works of Carl Gustav Jung.

Transcendence in psychology can be viewed from many points of view. At the same time, one thing is always important – the opportunity to go beyond the boundaries of your existence, find the meaning of life and live consciously.”

A person's search for meaning in combinations of different dates in different historical periods – this, it seems to me, is generated by the influence of Transcendence, if it has a location outside the flow of time. For the resulting arguments presuppose the existence of some timeless formula that connects different dates, rejecting as insignificant, the progressive flow of time.

For Transcendence, a typical situation is when the repeatability of dates is more important than their sequence.

The study of the relationship between different events that occurred at different points in space also suggests the influence of Transcendence, if it does not accept necessity (importance) distances between objects (or, as with time, the repeatability of distances is more important than their direction (location)).

The study of the life path of one human assumes the influence of Transcendence, if it does not accept the existence of other people in his personal world (or, as in the case of time and space, the repeatability of these people's characteristics is more important than their personal individuality).

“And since the world itself no longer makes sense, the only way to regain a philosophical foothold is to return to the Cartesian concept of cogito. This is what Husserl expanded to a great extent, according to his phenomenology, the external world does not exist by itself, but is constituted by consciousness (i.e., recreated in the transcendental ego). Existentialism also shows the same loss from the unreliability of the external world, from its meaninglessness. Hence, too, all discussions about how meaning is given to the world, what meaning and meaning are in general.”
