Spirituality box
[edit]The article is mainly about transcendence in philosophy. An anonymous user has added a spirituality template which focuses primarily on spiritual meanings of transcendence that aren't related to this article. It seems to me that perhaps there is a need for an article about transcendence in spirituality, to which this box is more appropriate. Meanwhile, I'm reverting the article. Perhaps the anonymous user would care to discuss on this page the justification for the spirituality box. Jeremy J. Shapiro 03:21, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I propose that we merge Transcendental philosophy into this article. Having both is confusing for readers, there's two different explanations of the same topic. CircleAdrian (talk) 03:01, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Opening sentence appears to be ungrammatical.
[edit]Currently, the opening sentence says:
‘In philosophy, transcendence conveys that the basic ground concept from the word's literal meaning (from Latin), of climbing or going beyond, albeit with varying connotations in its different historical and cultural stages.‘
But it is incomplete and it isn’t clear what should have followed so I cannot correct it. Can the author help out? Thanks.

Trascendental in Spinoza
[edit]In the Ethics, Part II, Proposition 40, Scholium 1 appears the Latin expression termini transcendentales which was rendered into the English "terms styled transcendental" (Latin text; English translation).
The fact that it indicates concept which "so general not to be included in the definitions of species, genus and category", comes from the free and commented translation of the website ousia.it, which is solely available in Italian and so it wasn't included in the WP article.
The first edition of the Spinoza's treatise was published in 1677, before the birth of Kant which is told to be the inventor of the word "trascendental". Furthermore, the use made by Spinoza links to the Aristotelian Scholasticism and thus it can be dated back before, even to the Middle Age. But further researches are needed to corrobrate this founded hypothesis.
