    Transcedence and Limitation

    Uploaded by

    Alma Delos Santos
    The document discusses the human capacity for transcendence and its limitations. It defines transcendence as the ability to go beyond one's current situation. The capacity for transcendence is rooted in the property of intentionality, where consciousness is inherently directed at things outside itself. However, a person's transcendence can be limited by their natural environment, body, and other people. While facticity poses restrictions, humans still maintain the freedom and ability to choose to transcend their present circumstances.

    TRANSCEDENCE

    AND LIMITATION
    By:Kleover Agtas
    CHARACTERISTIC OF HUMAN PERSON IN THEIR
    NATURAL CAPACITY FOR TRANSCEDENCE
     Refer to the capacity to go beyond
    on their current situation in.

     Sartre explains that the human


    capacity for transcendence is
    rooted in the property of human
    consciousness called INTENTIONALITY.
    INTENTIONALITY
    • Fundamental and inherent
    property of consciousness.It is a
    fundamental and inherent
    because it is more basic than
    the reflexivity of
    consciousness,referring to the
    ability of consciousness to be
    about self.
    2 TYPE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
     Intentional Consciousness-refer to
    the ability of consciousness to about
    itself.

     Self Consciousness-which is the


    consciousness that is directed
    towards itself.
     On the hand,Intentionality is an
    inherent property of consciousness
    because it is something not up to us
    (or not something for us to
    decide.)Meaning to say,whether we
    like it or not, our belief,for
    instance, will always be about
    certain things.
    3 KINDS OF INTENTIONALITY
     Inherent Intentionality
     Derived Intentionality
     Metaphorical Intentionality
     Inherent Intentionality-which is
    intentionality of consciousness.

     Derived Intentionality-which is the


    intentionality of language, maps and sign.

     Metaphorical Intentionality-which is the


    intentionality that we sometimes
    attribute to machines.
    But why is consciousness
    primarily and Inherently
    directed at things outside
    of itself?
     First, things that consciousness is
    primarily directed at are outside or
    transcendent to consciousness.

     Second, consciousness is always


    transcending itself because in being
    continuously conscious of things outside
    of it self.
    FACTORS THAT POSSIBLY LIMIT
    ONE’S TRANSCEDENCE
    There are generally three:
    Natural Environment
    Body
    Other People
    NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
     Factors pertaining to natural
    environment include natural laws or
    forces such as gravity, and natural
    events such as storms, earthquake
    or the simple fact that is raining.
    BODY
     Factors pertaining to the body refer
    to the various characteristic of the
    body such as genetic make up,
    physical attributes such as weight ,
    complexion etc.
    OTHER PEOPLE
     Factors pertaining to other people
    include our concrete relations with
    them and their mere perception of
    us (especially when they classify us
    as this or that kind of person)
    In sum, the ability to transcend the present
    situation of a human person is part of the nature
    of a human person being a conscious individual .
    However, means that he/she is free in that
    he/she has the ability to make choice for
    himself/herself . Furthermore, he/she lacks a
    fixed essence in that he/she is always in the
    process of filling up a gap or void in
    himself/herself.Finally ,his/her facticity limits
    his/her transcendence and freedom but only
    because he/she has chosen to. In positive
    light,this means that there is always hope for a
    human person ,through the power of choice ,to
    transcend whatever situation he/she is currently
    in.
