What is real? What is the relationship between ideas and objects in
the world? Is God a concept or a being? Is reality a creation of
the mind or a power beyond it? How does mental experience
coordinate with natural laws and material phenomena? The Bloomsbury
Anthology of Transcendental Thought is the definitive anthology of
responses to these and other questions on the nature and limits of
human knowledge by philosophers, theologians, and writers from
Plato to Zizek. The word "transcendental" is as prevalent and also
as ambiguously defined as the name "philosophy" itself. There are
as many uses, invocations, and allusions to the term as there are
definitions on offer. Every generation of writers, beginning in
earnest in ancient Greece and continuing through to our own time,
has attempted to clarify, apply, and lay claim to the meaning of
transcendental thought. Arranged chronologically, this anthology
reflects the diverse uses the term has been put to over the course
of two and a half millennia. It lends historical perspective to the
abiding importance of the transcendental for philosophical thinking
and also some sense of the complexity, richness, and continued
relevance of the contested term. The Bloomsbury Anthology of
Transcendental Thought, the first anthology of its kind, offers
teachers and students a new viewpoint on the history and present of
transcendental thought. Its selection of essential, engaging
excerpts, carefully selected, edited, and introduced, brings course
materials up-to-date with the state of the discipline.
