Transcendentals

Transcendentals

The transcendentals are the properties of being. Typically there are three generally agreed upon transcendentals, truth, beauty, and goodness. Added to these at times are unity and being.

The transcendentals are ontologically one, thus they are convertible. Where there is truth, there is beauty and goodness also.

In christian theology the transcendentals are treated in relation to Theology Proper, the doctrine of God.
