is a concern not with objects but with our mode of knowing objects.

is a form of knowledge which questions its own presuppositions and thereby seeks their basis.

All this presupposed a unique passion for an authoritative knowledge, which finds its like only among the Greeks, a knowledge which first and constantly questions its own presuppositions and thereby seeks their basis. (Heidegger 'what is a thing' 65)

is a system of conceptions not so much occupied with objects as with the mode of our cognition of these objects, so far as this mode of cognition is possible a priori.

I apply the term transcendental to all knowledge which is not so much occupied with objects as with the mode of our cognition of these objects, so far as this mode of cognition is possible a priori. A system of such conceptions would be called transcendental philosophy. (kant 'CPR' : 33)

is concerned with those thoughts acting simply as thoughts, without reference to the objects that these thoughts are about.

'transcendental' study, one which investigates thoughts just as thoughts, without reference to the objects that these thoughts are about. (matthews 2006)

is, for example, an entity like 'being' whose structure lies beyond every entity and every feature of an entity that there can possibly be.

The expression die ontologische Differenz was first introduced in 1927, to mark die distinction between (BEING (das) Sein) and beings or entities (das Seiende) (XXIV, 22). The distinction, though not this tide for it, is central to BT: 'Being and the structure of being lie beyond every entity and every feature of an entity that there can possibly be. Being is die transcendens pure and simple' (BT, 38). (inwood 46)

is hidden but crucial for our experience whereas transcendent is the inexhaustible, Godlike.

These three elements, noema, noesis, and hyle, remain hidden, although they are crucial to the way we experience the world. Husserl called them transcendental. This should not be confused with transcendent, which was mentioned earlier. 'Transcendent' means 'inexhaustible,' while 'transcendental' means hidden, but crucial for our experience. It is this latter notion that is important in connection with the reductions. (føllesdal in dreyfus 'companion to phenomenology' 109)

is not at all the same as transcendent. It is a plane of immanence which is populated only by events.

Transcendental does not mean 'transcendent': it refers instead to a plane of immanence which is populated only by 'events' (WP 48).
