Etymology

The term 'immanency' derives from the Latin word 'immanens', which means 'remaining in' or 'dwelling within'. The roots of the word can be traced back to 'in' and 'manere', indicating to stay or remain. Historically, the concept of immanence has been significant in various philosophical discussions, especially concerning the nature of God and the universe. It gained prominence during the Middle Ages, where the theological implications of immanency were debated among scholars. The rise of Enlightenment thought further popularized the distinction between immanence and transcendence, influencing many modern philosophical and religious perspectives. As culture evolved, immanency became associated with various movements that emphasized the connection between humans and the divine, exploring how the sacred interweaves within the fabric of daily life.
