Hermeneutik der Transzendenz

Transcendence is a controversial concept. Are there any genuinely religious forms of transcendence at all besides ontological, epistemological, ethical or alterological forms of transcendence? If so, what is their relation to those other forms of transcendence? Is it true that a cultural shift has taken place from a 'vertical' to a 'horizontal' understanding of transcendence? And if human religious self-transcendence is indeed more than a mere immanent experience, how can we understand this? Is absolute transcendence only possible if it breaks into immanence by itself, and is that possible without also modifying human forms of self-transcendence in specific ways? The authors of this volume shed light on these and other questions.
