James:

My suggestion:

[I have always attempted to steer between the Scylla of a levelling, 
transcendence – less empiricism and the Charybdis of a high-flying idealism 
that glorifies transcendence . . . the theory of communicative action 
integrates the transcendental tension between the intelligible and the world 
of appearances in communicative everyday practice, yet does not thereby 
level it out.] (Habermas, 2002: 91).

Jürgen Habermas (2002) “Transcendence from Within, Transcendence in this 
World” in Jürgen Habermas, Relgion and Rationality, ed. with intro. Eduardo 
Mendieta (Cambridge: Polity Press, 2002).
