Poll question: What does 'immanent reality' mean to you?
Edited on Tue Nov-22-11 11:35 AM by bananas
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanence

Immanence refers to philosophical and metaphysical theories of divine presence, in which the divine is seen to be manifested in or encompassing of the material world. It is often contrasted with theories of transcendence, in which the divine is seen to be outside the material world. It is usually applied in monotheistic, pantheistic, or panentheistic faiths to suggest that the spiritual world permeates the non-spiritual.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality

In philosophy, reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined.<1> In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. A still more broad definition includes everything that has existed, exists, or will exist.

Which hair are you splitting today?

""When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the world-old, world-wide religio of amulets and holy places and priestcraft. Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes. Catholicism is accused of being too much like all the other religions; Protestantism of being insufficiently like a religion at all. Hence Plato, with his transcendent Forms, is the doctor of Protestants; Aristotle, with his immanent Forms, the doctor of Catholics."
-C.S. Lewis

2. Hint: #1 is the correct answer.
There are no hairs to be split.

6. How is there a correct or incorrect answer?
The way you framed the question is purely subjective, to claim afterwards that there is a correct answer is rather arrogant.

Its like posting a poll asking people what there favorite color is, then saying later that the correct answer is blue.

5. Nope.
I'm saying I deal in the real, not the divine.

Reality is enough.
