- In this lecture, we'll cover one of Deleuze's last essays before his suicide, "Immanence: A Life". This essay helps to understand the affirmative and creative nature of Deleuze's philosophy, as well as frame his critique of transcendence and insistence on an immanent ontology. To help make sense of immanence (since it's such a crucial term), I'll give a brief background on the transcendence vs immanence debate and use the thought of Feuerbach and Descartes throughout to compliment Deleuze's words. Enjoy!

One tiny thing here at the beginning. Imminent (as in and imminent threat) is different from Immanent (something within; inherent).
My point there was that an immanent threat is immanent because it is immanent to the circumstances causing it to be as such. You’re right though, the distinction is subtle and I should’ve been more clear. Thanks for pointing this out though.
I interpret My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? as a revelation of nonexistence of transcedence.
In the beginning, the realization that there is no transcendence can induce paralyzing anxiety, but in the end it can increase the feelings of responsibility and care towards others.
Possibly. This is a common Christian atheist response adhered to by those such as Žižek: that God becomes an atheist for a moment and becomes the most relatable person possible, radically present and not at all transcendent. This is just a blatant contradiction, however, arising from the absurdity of the Trinity; God can’t be both fully transcendent (infinite, timeless, faceless, disembodied mind, pure love with no bounds) whilst also being fully immanent (man).
@@gavinyoung-philosophy I am aware that Zizek had said something similar but I think that Zizek thinks that transcendence (even if its temporary, if that is not a contradiction) is necessary.
