at two main words, immanence and diaspora. Both words, which comes from Barber’s book refer to more than just its flat definition we often find in dictionaries, which is why we will be looking more into the theological and philosophical meaning behind them. Here we will be relating both the word to namelessness and signification, followed by connecting each of the words to the theological discourses that were described in barber’s book, which come from other authors. Yet before we dive into this, we need to ensure that we understand both Immanence and diaspora otherwise this analysis will make no sense. Defined by Gonzalez, Immanence is one of the traditional attributes of “god often contrasted, and kept in polar tension with transcendence.…
transcendence and divine immanence, from the Evangelical point of view. Evangelical theology has had some rough road it had to stay balance accordingly to, the divine transcendence and divine immanence of its biblical truth. The authors are thinkers of the twentieth century the task of the magnitude of how theology has become a voice of the transcendence and immanence God that has become a great significance of the future and to balance the two points of transcendence and immanence.…
Immanence refers to something inherent within oneself. Transcendence means to go beyond ordinary limits or to be superior. De Beauvoir uses “immanence” to describe the domain set on women; the limits of the domain are the boundaries of themselves. “Transcendence” expresses the opposing force, men. Men are thought to be powerful in the external universe, while women are more passive. Throughout history, men claim themselves to be more productive than women. For example, in times of war only…
III. Theology Proper Definition of God God is a Spirit (John 4:24), infinite (Job 11:7; 1 Kings 8:27), eternal (Ps. 90:2; 1 Tim. 1:17), and unchangeable (James 1:17; Mal. 3:6) in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth. The Immanence of God The immanence of God connotes an indwelling of God within the world and its processes (Jer. 23:23-24; Acts 17:27-29; Heb. 1:3; Matt. 10:29). Every event is of supernatural causation in some sense. However, God is over the universe…
He attests the Bible is accurate in the revelation of Christ to the early Church and mirrors the revelation of God in Christ. Moreover, Grenz and Olsen fleetingly touch on evangelicalism once again in the conclusion of their book after revisiting the liberal theologians of the 20th century. They contend that the 20th century did not bring any consensus to the issues of God’s transcendence and immanence. In fact, they argue that it did the antithesis and exacerbated “the tension between immanence…
Deconstruction of Conceptual Reason: Transcendental Immanence and Faith Introduction In Climacus’ writing, the relation of faith and knowledge is dialectical. On the one hand, knowledge is not a necessary condition for faith. But on the other hand, the reason behind knowledge is a sufficient condition for faith. To have faith, one can advance upon the Socratic reason and go beyond: philosophize, limit to paradox, and cease to think. But this is not unwilling passivity, because the subject…
Within a few chapters in The Second Sex by Simone De Beauvoir, she uses the terms "immanence" and "transcendence". These two terms have very opposite meanings. Immanence is a term used to define women and transcendence is used to describe the male gender. These terms define the situations that men and women are involved in. In one of the chapters Beauvoir goes into depth about three kinds of illusions that women construct that demonstrate transcendence within the home or within their domestic…
born weak and submissive by nature rather, culture and society determine this fate for her. In other words, the woman is culturally programmed to think and act in a certain manner and hence, the woman has always been constructed as an "other." In this regard, de Beauvoir refers to the master-slave relationship and the slave's awareness of his subordination, to urge women about her emancipation. Moreover, Simone de Beauvoir proves that myth is a lie and not relevant to reality. To illustrate,…
woman-lover" (Campbell, 1982, p. 3). Indeed, Sappho herself is alluded to in the word "Lesbian," derived from her home on the island of Lesbos. Imageries of nature scenes, often including bright garlands and vibrant flowers, accompanied by altars of incense and smoke were frequently present in Sappho's lyrics. These items hold importance, due to the fact they are often associated with rituals done for Aphrodite (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2024), further emphasizing the themes of…
and Elisabeth Von R. Furthermore, these case studies exhibit De Beauvoir’s ideas about immanence and transcendence. Social expectations of Anna O. and Elisabeth Von R. trapped them to a role of immanence, denied the transcendence they desperately desire, and ultimately caused a psychical imbalance manifested in hysteria. Breuer’s treatment of Anna O. reveals how his method for her illness concentrated on a close assessment of the individual. Whenever Anna was capable of speaking, Breuer would…
