Spanish term

sobreactualmente

Spanish to English Social Sciences Philosophy
The context for the word is as follows:

"Así pues, el acto de perdón, una muestra de gratitud y el acto de prometer son reveladores esenciales del donar que caracteriza en su ser a la persona. Por ello, la donación no es un acto separable del ser personal, sino que lo acompaña *sobreactualmente* – en expresión de Hildebrand – en sus distintas manifestaciones, como las expuestas"

It is from an article entitled "Philosophy of Love and Gift", with the author writing generally within the tradition of continental philosophy. I don't find useful pages employing this word on Google.

agree Robert Carter : Clearly it's a specific term which, like it or not, has to be rendered faithfully as it pertains to his philosophical oeuvre. Well spotted.

ethereally

...above and beyond the here and now, somewhere in the ether, gossamer like and hard to pin down , apparently not of this world,...
Peer comment(s):

agree neilmac : Too bad Hildebrand felt he had to make up a term... I think "invisibly" might also work...
