transcendence

is man's projection of his own highest qualities beyond himself. The result is that man keeps for himself only the baser drives (guilt, revenge, and despair) and is thus left in a state of spiritual poverty. It is to be overcome.

For Nietzsche, transcendence is man's projection of his own highest qualities and noblest aspirations into an absolute subject or principle beyond himself. The result is that man himself is left in a state of spiritual poverty... he has impersonalized all of his own best attributes and kept for himself only the baser drives guilt, revenge, and despair. In hsort, man brings about his own dehumanization. Nietzsche abhors this loss and believes that man must seize these 'divine' attributes and re-integrate them into his own nature giving him the richness and profundity which truly constitute the meaning of being human. For Nietzsche, the elimination of the fictions of God and immortality, in fact, all forms of transcendence, is a call to the re-education and development of humanity in its fullest sense.

transcendence can only be given in immanence''

Contradiction is the lever of transcendence. Simone Weil

is the surmounting of 'everyday existence' of beings to beings as a whole or world.

But Kant does not explain what 'transcendence' is. Heidegger does: It is DASEIN's transcendence or surmounting (U berstieg) of beings to beings as a whole or WORLD (XXVI, 203ff... XXVII, 207ff... ER, 34ff.). (inwood 226)

is the notion that we must rise partly beyond the world we are enmeshed in in order to understanding anything.

Closely related to the term “projection.” Humans are not just enmeshed in the world, but also rise partly beyond it, or transcend it. Otherwise we would understand nothing; even partial knowledge would be utterly impossible without some degree of transcendence.

is not something that just happens every once in awhile in lucky moments, but must happen at all moments in order for human experience to occur in the first place.

Transcendence does not just happen every once in awhile in lucky moments, but must happen at all moments in order for human experience to occur in the first place.
