The term immanence in philosophy is associated with the modern era, but according to some advocates of the so-called philosophy of immanence, which begins with Descartes and culminates with Hegel (G. Gentile), its foundations were laid already in the Renaissance, especially Giordano Bruno is mentioned in this context. Following this statement, the article focuses on the Renaissance notion of immanence. The concept was understood primarily as an epistemological category, based on the reading of Aristotle and his
medieval commentators, and relates to the problem of the activities of the human soul. In contrast, immanence as a metaphysical category did not appear explicitly until the seventeenth century, but the connection with Neo-Platonism and its Renaissance forms is often pointed out. The connection appears both in the doctrine of the immanence of the world soul in the world within panpsychism and in pantheistic
speculations about the presence of the divine in the world.
