I mean transcendental as in "immanent in human existence", as in my 2nd quote on this question, from Ilan Gur-Ze’ev. However, I do mean transcendental as in not amongst the being of things, because "The thing doesn't at all transcend ..." - (from my 1st quote). That is precisely what the transcendent transcends. | |

Rather, Husserl's philosophy is "transcendental" in the sense that it's concerned with the conditions of possibility that make an experience possible. This is a technical philosophical term with a slightly different sense. Husserl's phenomenology isn't supposed to be esoteric or mystical in any sense. It's about the real, concrete world we experience. | |

That is to say it is not transcendental because of what it does, but because of the plane it takes place in. | |
