Transcendence (mathematics) In mathematics, a transcendental number is a complex number that is not a root of a non-zero polynomial with rational coefficients. Generalizations of this concept are transcendental functions (the coefficients are themselves polynomials) and transcendental elements (the coefficients are in an abstract field).
Transcendence (philosophy) In philosophy, the adjective transcendental and the noun transcendence convey three different but related primary meanings, all of them derived from the word's literal meaning (from Latin), of climbing or going beyond: one sense that originated in Ancient philosophy, one in Medieval philosophy, and one in modern philosophy.
Transcendence (religion) In religion, transcendence is a condition or state of being that surpasses, and is independent of, physical existence. It is affirmed in some way of the divine in most major religious traditions, and is opposed to the notion of a God, or an Absolute, as existing only in the physical order and not beyond it (immanentism), or as being somehow, in the final analysis, indistinguishable from it (pantheism).
Transcendence degree In abstract algebra, the transcendence degree of a field extension L / K is a certain rather coarse measure of the "size" of the extension. Specifically, it is defined as the largest cardinality of an algebraically independent subset of L over K.

Transcendent truth Transcendent truth is a religious term referring to an experience that is beyond all reference to the physical world. Some may interpret this experience within their own beliefs and rituals, while others take it a step further and eventually spark a whole new religion or sect.
Transcendent Theosophy Transcendent theosophy or al-hikmat al-muta’liyah (حكمت متعاليه), the doctrine and philosophy that has been developed and perfected by Persian Philosopher Mulla Sadra, is one of two main disciplines of Islamic Philosophy which is very live & active even today.
Transcendental argument for the existence of God The Transcendental Argument for the existence of God (TAG) is an argument for the existence of God which attempts to show that logic, science, ethics (and generally every fact of human experience and knowledge) are not meaningful apart from a preconditioning belief in the existence of the Christian God. A version was formulated by Immanuel Kant in his 1763 work The Only Possible Argument in Support of a Demonstration of the Existence of God.
Transcendental arguments A transcendental argument is a philosophical argument that proceeds from an apparently indubitable and universally accepted premise by a series of necessary conditions to substantive knowledge-claims about the world. The most famous transcendental argument, and the precedent for all other such arguments, is the Transcendental Deduction of the Categories in Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.
Transcendental Etude No. 4 in D minor (Liszt) Franz Liszt's Transcendental Etude No. 4 in D minor, "Mazeppa", is the fourth Transcendental Etude, inspired by Victor Hugo's dramatically morbid poem Mazeppa, in which a Ukrainian page named Mazeppa is strapped onto a horse and the horse is set free to gallop, resulting in the critical condition of both the horse and the Mazeppa.
Transcendental function A transcendental function is a function which does not satisfy a polynomial equation whose coefficients are themselves polynomials. Saying it more technically, a function of one variable is transcendental if it is algebraically independent of that variable.
Transcendental Generation The Transcendental Generation is the name given by William Strauss and Neil Howe in their book Generations for that generation of Americans born between 1792 and 1821. The proud offspring of a secular new nation, this generation included the first children to be portraited (and named at birth) as individuals.

Transcendental number In mathematics, transcendental means "non-algebraic", where an algebraic number is the solution of a non-zero polynomial equation with integer (or, equivalently, rational) coefficients. Thus a transcendental number is a (real, imaginary or complex) number which is not the solution of any such equation.
Transcendental Perspectivism Transcendental Perspectivism is a hybrid philosophy developed by German born philosopher, Professor Werner Krieglstein (PhD, University of Chicago). A blending of Friedrich Nietzsche's Perspectivism and the utopian ideals of the Transcendentalism movement, Transcendental Perspectivism challenges Nietzsche's claim that there is no absolute truths while fully accepting his observation that all truth can only be known in the context of ones perception.
Transcendentalism Transcendentalism was a group of new ideas in literature, religion, culture, and philosophy that emerged in New England in the early-to mid-19th century. It is sometimes called American Transcendentalism to distinguish it from other uses of the word transcendental.
