This chapter clarifies the multiple meanings of immanence and specifies the sense in which it is used throughout the book. It distinguishes between ontological immanence (rejection of transcendent essences), epistemological immanence (thinking as always conducted in medias res and as self-correcting) and explanatory immanence (intelligibility as self-grounding). Classical models—from Platonic Ideas to Aristotelian forms, to modern notions of laws of nature—are shown to harbor transcendent residues. By contrast, fractured immanence affirms the unconditionality of being while rejecting all transcendent grounds, causes or epistemic standpoints. The chapter also positions this conception against correlationist and phenomenological approaches, which raise the mind-world correlation itself to unconditional status.
