emanationism

This may take the form of emanationism, in which the universe is to the Absolute what rings of light are to a flame, or an interpretation of the divine as the sole substance of which all existing things are a mode.

In addition to Philo's definition of the relationship of the Word to both God and creation in a way that suggests there was indeed the sort of ambiguity Bauckham denies Who is Heir of Divine Things? chapter 42 § 206, later Jewish mystical works illustrate well how emanationism continued to exist in a Jewish context, in conjunction with affirmations of "monotheism", i.e. exclusive devotion to one God.

He says, "¦ emanationism does not necessarily lead to pantheism, but it does imply that in some sense God is in the world and the world is in God."

He denied the charge of emanationism, claiming that in his thought “it is not a matter of the self-determination of being, but rather the self-determination of Nothingness” (NKZ VI, 154).

In this essay Tanabe sharply criticizes Nishida's middle-period philosophy of the “place of Absolute Nothingness,” claiming that it falls into kind of Plotinian “emanationism” that ultimately rests on a religious or mystical intuition.

But theists have nevertheless moved toward deism, emanationism, and pantheism as they dealt with such questions as: Having created, is God then indiffer - ent to his creation?
