“…One of the reasons such subjunctive explorations of transcendence have been overlooked in the anthropological literature may be a tendency for some critics to assume that ethical transcendence is not only earnest, but also destructive. Some, for example, have drawn attention to the propensity of transcendent traditions to promote ‘war against the ostensibly and the actually irreligious … [so they might] transcend base instincts or primitive thinking and rise to the transcendent heights of ethical life’ (Lambek 2016: 784). Setting aside the question of why such a missionizing ethos would not be a valid field for the social scientific study of ethics (Laidlaw 2018: 184‐5), this article reveals that multiple forms of engagement with the transcendent can, and often do, coexist.…”

“…In the anthropology of ethics, the idea of transcendence has most frequently been used to describe codified ethical rules and principles, religion, the capacity to step outside of oneself in moments of reflexive thought and action, and other phenomena alleged to be detached from everyday thought, action, and experience (Laidlaw 2018: 182‐7). Some have suggested that focusing on such transcendent forms runs the risk of obscuring the contingent and emergent character of ethical life (Das 2007; Lambek 2016). They would rather anthropologists turn to forms of ethics that are ‘immanent’ in social interaction and embodied forms of ethical judgement, rather than overtly tied to abstract systems of moral evaluation (Lambek 2010; 2015).…”
