My interpretation of your use of transcendence is the effect or thing is free from its origin. What I'm saying it is not free. There are multiple ways to get the same thing or reach the same effect. That doesn't mean anything is free from its origins, but that it has multiple possible origins. It is pluraemanio or the more common phrase, "there is more than one way to skin a cat."(September 15, 2014 at 12:15 am)Surgenator Wrote: I don't think they go beyond anything or climb anywhere. It's just that there is multiple ways of getting the samething. For example, I can drive multiple routes to Las Vegas. That doesn't mean Las Vegas is some transcended place.Hmmmm Latin in philosophy seems wrong. Can you do it in Greek, please?
If you want to a better word, how about pluraemanio.
plura = many
emanio = to flow out, spread / arise, emanate, originate.
And yes, I did just make it up. However, I provided the definition.
Also, I think you're equivocating on meanings of transcendent. Please stick only to my equivocation!
When I say the mind is transcendent, I mean that it is free from the limitations of the mechanism on which it supervenes.
