Abstract

A possible objection to the argument so far would be this: in accentuating the way in
which immanence can be figured as resisting or refusing transcendence, has it not
been relativized? That is to say: is this immanence merely a reflex of transcendence,
intrinsically coupled to its opposite in relativistic or parasitic embrace?

deserves a fuller investigation, not least following the case made for his anti-
