transcendental being or qualities.
a.
In the Kantian system, of or pertaining to that
which can be determined a priori in regard to the fundamental
principles of all human knowledge. What is transcendental, therefore,

or become transcendent. It simply signifies the a priori or necessary
conditions of experience which, though affording the conditions of
experience, transcend the sphere of that contingent knowledge which is
acquired by experience.

Vaguely and ambitiously extravagant in
speculation, imagery, or diction.
