Abstract
In this paper I will try to shortly present a secular surrogates and forms of transcendence which we can find in various cultural, political and social contexts. And what is important to notice, is that all of these forms are horizontally located inside this world, and as such they represent beyond as something that is inside this universe, while, by its (traditional) definition, it should be outside. I will speak about transcendence (secular forms of transcendence) that becomes worldliness, briefly pointing some important moments in this process of lousing religion's authorities over transcendence. In second part of this paper I will present Daniel Dennett’s idea Design Space which can be understood as some form of transcendence (or Beyond) based and understood in scientific worldview.
