The divine present, for Marion, is only knowable as un-presentable distance

Evidence

But how can this specular structure be understood in logical terms? Divine self-presence is interrupted, or rather opened up, by an inner distance. We can interpret this through the concept of the substance-subject and its movement, a movement in which God negates himself as immediate and substantial power, positing himself as other in the Incarnation which sees his birth as ‘subject’, before returning in the form of singularity to absolute substance. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 858 (#expands, via linked claim)
