El ser humano dispone de un cerebro y de una mente con unas capacidades que van mucho m�s all� de los estereotipos de supervivencia. Los humanos presentamos obsesivamente actividades de lujo: la b�squeda de la belleza, el inter�s por la �tica, la organizaci�n de actividades de ocio, el despliegue de acciones simb�licas. Ramon Maria Nogu�s denomina con el t�rmino trascendencia este tipo de actividades no orientadas a la supervivencia. La trascendencia no es �nicamente religiosa, sino que impregna toda la vida humana y discurre por la est�tica, la �tica, la religi�n, el nacionalismo, la pasi�n amorosa, la palabra y el s�mbolo.

About this title

Synopsis

Denominating those uniquely human pursuits—the search for beauty, an interest in ethics, and the organization of leisure activities, among others—that rise above merely survivalist concerns transcendence, this examination argues that, far from being a purely religious expression, this concept of transcendence can be observed in aesthetics, in ethics, in nationalism, in romance, in language, and in symbolism. The book thoroughly—and often controversially—tackles topics such as human uniqueness, the emergence of the self, and the intricacies of the mental world as it demonstrates that transcendence, far from being merely applicable to the religious realm, is a constant presence in the human mind and, more than that, is fundamental to the stability of the human psyche.
