Sample text
The older ones among us, may nostalgically remember a culture that was more coherent and religiously centered than ours, but this image of the past does not present the essence of religion. Even secular men and women, concerned about the need for social and cultural coherence, call for some kind of religious restoration. But their concern, not with the truth of faith but with the order of society, remains within the modem perspective where religion is one thing, in this case a means, rather than an all-encompassing source of meaning.
The tree as meant is not to be confused with the existing oak tree in one's backyard. "Existence" is put into brackets (Einklammerung, is the term that Husser! used) to enable us to get clear about the world of meanings. This use of the strategy of transcendental-phenomenological reduction culminated, at least in Husserl's early writings, in his intriguing but problematic doctrine of the "intuition of 28 CALVINO. SCHRAG essences" (Wesenschau). Although existence remains within the brackets as a feature of the world of the natural standpoint- that is to say, it is not displaced via a deployment of Cartesian hyperbolic doubt - it is nonetheless suspended in the move to the transcendental standpoint, and its transcendent status remains on the fringe of cognitive operations.
26 CALYIN 0. SCHRAG find the highlighted notions of surpassing and exceeding. To transcend, reads the entry, is "to rise above and go beyond the limits of ... to outstrip or outdo in some attribute , quality, or power". The transcendent, both in its nominative and adjectival form, involves, again, "exceeding certain limits ... being beyond comprehension ... beyond material existence or apart from the universe", and in an accentuated concluding consolidation, "a holy being". Already here we encounter quite a crowd of semantic modalities.
