  D. Marmion, "Rahner and his Critics: Revisiting the Dialogue."
Love of neighbour is the fulfilment of the transcendental nature of the human person: in the form of a decision or action it constitutes the way for the individual to actualise her openness to God.
Although Rahner's theology of the love of neighbour sometimes gives the impression of being restricted to a narrowly interpersonal level (i.e., to one's immediate neighbour), he was convinced that the category of love held out great potential for inter-human solidarity, including with those who are suffering.
Thus he could agree with the characterisation of his theology as a "transcendental anthropology," as long as this description did not give the impression that he had bracketed the complicated question of the relation between transcendence and history.

 Malaspina Great Books EText: The Critique of Pure Reason - The Ideal of Pure Reason. Critique of all Theology based ...
The former cogitates its object either by means of pure transcendental conceptions, as an ens originarium, realissimum, ens entium, and is termed transcendental theology; or, by means of a conception derived from the nature of our own mind, as a supreme intelligence, and must then be entitled natural theology.
Natural theology infers the attributes and the existence of an author of the world, from the constitution of, the order and unity observable in, the world, in which two modes of causality must be admitted to exist- those of nature and freedom.
Transcendental theology is still therefore, notwithstanding its objective insufficiency, of importance in a negative respect; it is useful as a test of the procedure of reason when engaged with pure ideas, no other than a transcendental standard being in this case admissible.

 Gerard Hall, sm: The Three Turns In Modern Theology: Transcendental, Political And Liberation Theologies
Theologies of Critical Praxis (derived from the post-World War II Frankfurt School of Critical Theory) approach God and revelation from the perspective of suffering and evil.
Theology then is called on to critique the present "Church of dependants" so as to transform it into a "Church of subjects." Theology's task is also to develop a "new language" to enable the Church to enter into dialogue with the world of our time (though, for Metz, dialogue does not mean capitulation).
Liberation theology is pre-eminently a theology of praxis.

Along with his transcendental theology, itself, he singled out what he called "the logic of the concrete individual knowledge in Ignatius Loyola," which is an answer that one could hardly have anticipated.

 Transcendentalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transcendentalism was a group of new ideas in literature, religion, culture, and philosophy that emerged in New England in the early-to mid-19th century.
Transcendentalism began as a protest against the general state of culture and society at the time, and in particular, the state of intellectualism at Harvard and the doctrine of the Unitarian church which was taught at Harvard Divinity School.
Transcendentalism was rooted in the transcendental philosophy of Immanuel Kant (and of German Idealism more generally), which the New England intellectuals of the early 19th century embraced as an alternative to the Lockean "sensualism" of their fathers and of the Unitarian church, finding this alternative in Vedic thought, German idealism, and English Romanticism.

 Rahner Karl
By unifying philosophy and theology, Rahner intends (1) to identify the human being as the “universal question,” (2) to show the transcendental and historical conditions that make revelation possible, and (3) to show Christianity as the “answer” to the question which the human being poses and in fact is.
Many of these proponents of a “new theology” were concerned to retrieve the “real” Thomas from the deformations of his neo-scholastic interpreters and to show that there was an experiential awareness in Thomas that opened him to relationship with contemporary philosophical currents, particularly the “turn to the subject” which emphasized the role of human experience.
Although this transcendental method is often cited as the distinctive mark of Rahner’s theology, it must be understood in relationship to the nature of the vast number of books and articles that are firmly situated in the categorial, responding to the concrete questions of the distinctive historical and ecclesial period in which he lived.

Although Islam is often considered to lack a "Theology" as in "Christianity" there were many attempts to frame Islamic ideas within Greek thought, especially during the early abbassids and the reign of the caliph al-mamun.

 Theology Today - Vol 38, No. 3 - October 1981 - CRITICSCORNER - Kant Anniversary
The kind of inquiry which is directed to these conditions of the possibility of knowledge, what they are, how they function, and how they are validated, Kant called transcendental; and transcendental he carefully distinguished from transcendent, which he applied to ideas lying beyond the range of experience and, therefore, of verification.
Rahner's most striking divergence from Kant is that he translates natural theology from the cloudland of the transcendent, where Kant had located it, to the dimension of the transcendental, where it functions as "the condition of the possibility" of the true knowledge of God.
Kant's rejection of natural theology is part of his broader thesis that any attempt to extend our knowledge by reasoning from a priori concepts of the understanding beyond the range of sense-experience must end in illusion.

 Natural theology Summary
Thus it is distinguished from revealed theology (or revealed religion) which is based on scripture and religious experiences of various kinds; and also from transcendental theology, theology from a priori reasoning (see Immanuel Kant et alia).
Natural theology was originally part of philosophy and theology, and theologians still study it; but most of its content also forms part of the philosophy of religion.
They were established to "promote and diffuse the study of Natural Theology in the widest sense of the term— in other words, the knowledge of God." The term natural theology as used by Gifford means theology supported by science and not dependent on the miraculous.

 Kant's Theistic Solution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The problem is that the transcendental conditions which enable us to gain knowledge in the empirical world are unable to perform their function with respect to such ideas, because the ideas abstract from all sensible content, whereas the transcendental conditions (space, time and the categories) all require such content.
As is well known, Kant devoted considerable effort in the Transcendental Dialectic to the task of pointing out the implications of this transcendental problem for rational psychology (with its proofs of the immortality of the soul), rational cosmology (with its proofs of transcendental freedom), and rational theology (with its proofs of the existence of God).
Natural Theology Kant's theory concerning the regulative idea of God is actually the least important of his three ways of affirming the rationality of theology; for 'the conception of a Deity...can never be evolved merely according to principles of reason's theoretical standpoint' [Kt7:400].

 Theological Aesthetics: God in Imagination, Beauty, and Art Theology Today - Find Articles
There was always a current of Christian theology and practice that historically emphasized God's "absolute otherness" to the extent that representations of the divine, especially in art, became suspect and sometimes strictly verboten.
Instead, I want to move on to Viladesau's further contention that the "absolute and necessary condition of possibility" for aesthetic experience in particular is a sort of affective "preapprehension" of God.
This early argument of Kant's has received little attention in the literature, perhaps because Kant himself modifies it in Critique of Pure Reason such that only the "regulative idea" (rather than the actual existence) of an ens realissimum is required in order to ground the relevant facts.
