Becker's Transcendence

Becker, Camu and Kirkegart all explore transcendence. Becker describes self-transcendence as breaking through cultural heroism and opening oneself up to infinity. By destroying the character lies that culture gives you, you can achieve cosmic heroism. This is achieved by connecting with the invisible mystery at the heart of creation. The primary distinction in Becker's passage is between cultural heroism and cosmic heroism.
