Ray Brassier has worked within the field of speculative realism by elaborating on the work of Francois Laruelle. In order to separate human thinking from an external reality and present them as independent from each other, there needs to be an understanding of how transcendence emerges from absolute immanence. There is not only an immanence of reality in itself, but an immanence that is the relationship between reality and its structures. These structures in themselves are also immanent. Transcendence occurs when a decision is made that comes between the external immanence of reality and the internal immanence of structures. Transcendence is a retroactive subsumption of reality by structures and a divergence of external immanence and internal immanence. The fact of reality before experience becomes linked to the data of reality after experience through transcendence, and the independent dispassionate inhumanity of material reality is ignored.
