transhistorical

An entity or concept is transhistorical if it holds throughout human history, not merely within the frame of reference of a particular form of society at a particular stage of historical development. Certain theories treat human history as divided into distinct epochs with their own internal logics - historical materialism is the most famous case of such a theory. States of affairs which hold within one epoch may be completely absent, or carry opposite implications in another, according to these theories. Transhistorical items are rare in such schemes.
