Wiki it Willi. Transcendentalism is based upon Kant and German Idealism. The Vedas and Upanishads are based upon Shruti - the self-revealing utterance of Vac.
Another alternative meaning for transcendentalism is the classical philosophy that God transcends the manifest world. As John Scotus Erigena <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Scotus_Eriugena> put it to Frankish <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franks> king Charles the Bald <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_the_Bald> in the year 840 AD, "We do not know what God is. God himself doesn't know what He is because He is not anything. Literally God is not, because He transcends being." --- In [email protected], "richardwillytexwilliams" <willytex@...> wrote: > Of course, all the teachers of the Upanishads were > transcendentalists.
