Transcendence

OK.. what does this word mean? It has plagued me since the early seventies, through Beatles music, Maharishis and mycologically fuelled cognitions. Now I read philosophy, and again I meet this word. Philosophers of religion and ethics and aesthetics talk about transcendence. So what is transcendent? That which is beyond the ken of humanity? I will grant my reader the wit to take my point without further ranting.

Oh dear - you didn't take the point did you? If a thing is beyond human knowledge, then how can humans define it in human dictionaries.. oh, I see, GOD wrote the dictionary with his transcendent fibretip on some transcendant paper!
