“(WIP, 223). I will argue here that a series of premodern thinkers—John Scotus Eriugena, Nicholas of Cusa, Pico della Mirandola, and Giordano Bruno, were engaged in just such a struggle for immanence within Neoplatonism and Christianity, and that this struggle marks them as “dark precursors” to Deleuze's system. These thinkers, accused of heresy and subversive motives, could be said to have attempted (at great risk, in many cases) to institute a “plan(e) of immanence” within theological discourse, producing paradoxical and esoteric systems of knowledge.”

“is develop “baroque” usages of signs such as those envisioned by Cusa and Bruno, where confidence in the adequacy of language can in turn be related back to the confidence of the hermetic tradition in the powers of emblems, symbols, and sigils to activate the deep, if always hidden character of nature. As we saw apropos Foucault, in the Renaissance, signs and symbols, although limited, could surpass the restrictions of ordinary perception and rationality by activating otherwise imperceptible sympathies, analogies, and connections. Deleuze's”

“There is another, somewhat more cryptic sense of immanence in Deleuze's work. This is the sense that, quite apart from thought, immanence is the character of a singular flow of impersonal consciousness, une vie (a life). This is a sense of immanence Deleuze tends to develop more fully in his later work. Immanence as “a life” is not a reference to an organism, but an “anorganic,” prereflective consciousness that implicates everything in itself, leaving nothing outside—not even thought itself—to which a life could be considered immanent.”
