In discussing modernism versus post-modernism, positing "transcendent" universal and "immanent" local standards as contrary opposites works as an inhibiting straitjacket. This comment on Marianna Papastephanou's article attempts to support and reinforce her critical theorist intentions to overcome this opposition by invoking viewpoints from the philosophy of Aristotle, interpreted as a dialectical philosopher in light of the totality of the Corpus Aristotelicum, not by isolating his practical from his theoretical philosophy. The argument is that immanent transcendence is both possible and necessary in every local human culture, already implied in the concept of immanent critique.
