==Etymology==
Late [[Latin]] immanent-, immanens, present participle of immanēre to remain in place, from Latin in- + manēre to remain — more at mansion
*Date: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Century 1535]
==Definitions==
*1 : indwelling, inherent <beauty is not something imposed but something immanent — Anthony Burgess>
*2 : being within the limits of possible experience or knowledge — compare transcendent
==Description==
[[Immanence]], derived from the [[Latin]] in manere - "to remain within" - refers to [[philosophical]] and [[metaphysical]] [[theories]] of [[divine]] [[presence]], which hold that some divine being or [[essence]] [[manifests]] in and through all aspects of the [[material]] world. It is usually applied in monotheistic, pantheistic, or panentheistic [[faith]]s to suggest that the [[spiritual]] world permeates the non-spiritual, and often contrasts the [[idea]] of [[transcendence]].
Immanence is generally associated with [[mysticism]] and mystical sects, but most religions have elements of both immanent and transcendent [[belief]] in their doctrines. Major faiths commonly devote significant philosophical efforts to explaining the [[relationship]] between immanence and transcendence, but these efforts run the gamut from casting immanence as a characteristic of a transcendent God (common in Abrahamic faiths) to subsuming transcendent '[[personal]]' gods in a greater immanent being (Hindu [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman Brahman]) to approaching the question of transcendence as something which can only be answered through an appraisal of immanence ([[Buddha|Buddhism]], and some philosophical [[perspectives]]).
