Cultural psychology, as one of the youngest, yet fastest growing social sciences, has been explored in most parts of the world and approached from a great diversity of angles. What must be continuously researched in the theory, method and critique of cultural psychology, however, are historical, intercultural and political perspectives. To take up this thesis seriously, the present commentary illustrates the fundamentally historical, intercultural and political nature of cultural affect, cognition and behaviour. It concludes with the suggestion of an inbetween cultural and cultural political stance that the critical-intellectual cultural psychologist takes.
