The studies in this volume investigate the philosophical, theological, and aesthetic importance of the connection between fundamental philosophical questions of the structure and forms of transcendence and the concept of negativity. The pieces lead to a deeper view of the systematic connection between transcendence and negativity and explore the implications of this connection for a rational and reflective understanding of self and world as well as for the cultural form of a humane world.
