Marxist philosophy continues and purifies the philosophy of immanence.
Evidence
The term “immanence” has in the philosophy of praxis a quite precise meaning which is concealed beneath the metaphor and this meaning had to be defined and made precise. Such a definition would in reality have been genuinely “theory”. The philosophy of praxis continues the philosophy of immanence but purifies it of all its metaphysical apparatus and brings it onto the concrete terrain of history. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 1599
