allimmanenza

Allimmanenza is a term occasionally used in contemporary Italian philosophy to designate a stance that foregrounds immanence as the fundamental mode of grounding and meaning in reality. In many texts the form all’immanenza (with the elision typical of Italian) is preferred, while allimmanenza appears in some writings as a full compound. The idea signals a broader or more universal commitment to immanence, suggesting that causes, grounds, and values lie within the web of relations that constitute the world rather than in any transcendent external source.

Core features of allimmanenza include a rejection or critique of transcendent foundations, an emphasis on internal causality and relationality, and the view that phenomena are grounded in immanent processes and structures. Proponents typically articulate a naturalized or process-oriented ontology, where mind, matter, and value emerge from ongoing interactions within a shared reality. The approach often aligns with anti-dualist tendencies, aiming to dissolve strict divisions between subject and object, nature and culture, or essence and phenomenon.

Applications of the concept appear in philosophy of religion, ethics, epistemology, and political theory. In theology or religious philosophy, allimmanenza can describe divinity as immanent within the world rather than wholly transcendent. In ethics and politics, it supports forms of critique and theory grounded in observable practices, institutions, and relations.

Usage and reception vary; allimmanenza is not a fixed or universally accepted term but a heuristic employed in certain Italian-language discussions to articulate a comprehensive immanent framework. See also immanence, transcendence, and related continental traditions.
