TRANSCENDENCE - Being beyond the reach or apprehension of experience. Its opposite is immanence (Kant). A state of transcendence indicates that a cognitive system is not powerful enough (see theory of logical types) to cope with or represent the information present, e.g., the experience of paradox. (Krippendorff)
Immanence, in philosophy and theology, a term applied, in contradistinction to 'transcendence,' to the fact or condition of being entirely within something (from Latin immanere, 'to dwell in, remain'). Its most important use is for the theological conception of God as existing in and throughout the
created world, as opposed, for example, to deism, which conceives him as separate from and above the universe. This concept has been expressed in a great variety of forms, including theism and
pantheism.
