Abstract:

The transcendence in Late-modern sense leads us to the limits of the imaginable (the representative thinking), beyond the rational structure of the opposition between sacred and profane (not only between transcendent and immanent). Transgression (from lat. transgressio – to “switch” outside some realm) as a step beyond (uneven, irregular recovery of continuity), is not only excessive tearing of the existential veil but indicates a play with the boundary without destroying the idea of infinity. I.e. the border situation in which the world in a way loses its sociality, conventionality, order, etc, getting back to nature and to the infinite. For Far Eastern thinking the unconditional, irreducible presence of the Way (Dao) precedes the artificially fixed meanings – the so called image thinking, or the discourse on the ineffable opposes the distorting of natural discourses. As a kind of incarnation of the Great Ultimate, the speech is born in the empty mind just as the sound occurs in silence, so forgetting the words is the precondition of any cognition.

Keywords:

the boundary, transcendence, the unspeakable Dao, endless words, the ultimate expression, the Void, the Way-as-margin
