transcendentálním

Transcendentální is a term with origins in philosophy and theology, broadly referring to that which is beyond or transcends the ordinary, empirical, or physical realm. It often denotes a reality, state, or quality that is superior to and independent of the material world. In a philosophical context, particularly within German idealism, transcendentální is used to describe the conditions of possibility for experience, as explored by Immanuel Kant. For Kant, transcendentální philosophy investigates not the objects of experience themselves, but how our minds structure and make sense of those experiences. This includes the innate categories of understanding and forms of intuition, such as space and time, which are considered transcendentally ideal but empirically real.

In theology, transcendentální refers to the nature of God or the divine, emphasizing its absolute otherness and ultimate unknowability by human reason or senses. This implies a God who is not merely a part of creation but exists outside and above it, the ultimate source and ground of all being. The term can also be applied to experiences that seem to lift individuals beyond their normal consciousness, often described as mystical or spiritual, leading to a sense of profound connection or insight. The concept underscores a distinction between the immanent, which is within the world, and the transcendent, which is beyond it.
