transsendentaaliset

Transsendentaaliset refers to philosophical concepts that go beyond ordinary experience or empirical knowledge. In philosophy, particularly in German idealism, it is often associated with the work of Immanuel Kant. Kant distinguished between empirical knowledge, which is derived from sensory experience, and transcendental knowledge, which concerns the conditions of possibility for experience itself. Transcendental philosophy investigates the a priori structures of the mind that make our perception and understanding of the world possible, rather than the contents of that world. These structures are not derived from experience but are necessary preconditions for any experience.

The term "transcendental" can also be used more broadly to describe anything that transcends the limitations of the physical or material world. This can include abstract concepts, spiritual realms, or states of consciousness that are not directly accessible through the senses. In some contexts, it may overlap with ideas of the mystical or the ineffable, referring to realities or truths that cannot be fully articulated or grasped by ordinary human faculties. The core idea is a movement beyond the immanent, the immediately present and observable, towards something more fundamental or encompassing.
