Philosophy of immanence
Immanence philosophy , also known as immanent philosophy , is a philosophical current that is limited in its explanations to what can be experienced and given. The term “ immanent ” in this context means that all being is already immanent to the ego or consciousness , that is, is contained in consciousness. The existence of transcendent things is largely denied. Philosophy of immanence is thus a philosophy of what is immediately given, which proceeds from an identity of reality and the content of consciousness.
The German philosopher Wilhelm Schuppe , who worked in the 19th and early 20th centuries, is considered the founder of the philosophy of immanence ; his theories arose largely in the context of the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl .
David Hume and George Berkeley are considered to be thought leaders . Philosophers who can be at least partially assigned to this trend include Johann Gottlieb Fichte , Ernst Laas , Wilhelm Schuppe , Johannes Rehmke , Richard von Schubert-Soldern and Robert Reininger .
