Immanentist philosophy rejects transcendence but often stays confined to elites
Evidence
Since all Adorno’s criticisms were aimed at producing evidence of
immanence', the goal of his critique could only be termed transcendence, or simply: releaseinto the transcendent, into a realm free of intention, into what was new, unrestricted, open, non-identical. — <cite>Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 334</cite> (#complicates`, via linked claim)
Adorno’s view was that the economic and social causes of anti-Semitism were demonstrated by the psyche of the anti-Semite; a consistent and thorough psychological study of the anti-Semite would lead to the
cultural anthropology' of anti-Semitism. But the same problem arose here as with the concept always defended by Adorno: the idea of an immanent critique which could not do without a dash of transcendence. In the same way, an analysis of objective factors through an in-depth analysis of subjective factors could not do without basic knowledge of the objective factors. — <cite>Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 453</cite> (#complicates`, via linked claim)
