D'une philosophie de la transcendance à une philosophie de l'immanence

Abstract

The relationship between immanence and transcendence may be thought within a philosophy of transcendence or within a philosophy of immanence. In the former case, immanence and transcendence seem to be two irreductible phenomenological substances, whose relations become impossible. In the latter case--which is that of a material phenomenology--one insists that there are two modes of manifestation but only one single substance, i.e., immanence, and that it is hence from that one should understand everything, i.e., the ego, the cosmos, and transcendence itself.
