Pantheism and Immanence

As a creator that is separate from its created, the Biblical God is classified as a 'transcendent' cause of the latter. In contrast, Spinoza characterizes the causality of the God of his system as 'immanent', meaning 'indwelling'. So, since Wolfson and Deleuze each interpret the God-Mode relation in Spinoza's system as Whole-Part, each regards 'immanent' as a misleading characterization of the causality entailed. Accordingly, Wolfson proposes that that causality be instead classified as 'transcendent immanent', while Deleuze suggests that 'immanent' applies more accurately to its effects. However, neither correction explains how individual activity instantiates both divine and Modal causality. Each correction, thus, bypasses the more fundamental problem for Spinoza--that 'immanence', which entails 'difference', is an inappropriate classification, however interpreted, for a Pantheistic creator, i. e. one which is identical to both its creating and its created.
