Over the last twenty years materialist thinkers in the continental
tradition have increasingly emphasized the category of immanence.
Yet the turn to immanence has not meant the wholesale rejection of
the concept of transcendence, but rather its reconfiguration in
immanent or materialist terms: an immanent transcendence. Through
an engagement with the work of Deleuze, Irigaray and Adorno,
Patrice Haynes examines how the notion of immanent transcendence
can help articulate a non-reductive materialism by which to rethink
politics, ethics and theology in exciting new ways. However, she
argues that contrary to what some might expect, immanent accounts
of matter and transcendence are ultimately unable to do justice to
material finitude. Indeed, Haynes concludes by suggesting that a
theistic understanding of divine transcendence offers ways to
affirm fully material immanence, thus pointing towards the idea of
a theological materialism.
