[Xmca-l] Re: useful psychology?

[Haydi Zulfei]

Alfredo,

I’m just concentrating on your own word whether borrowed or created. How is
behaviorism the science of controlling people?

The science which allows people to salivate without control , lead their
lives just by associations which function is carried out by second signals
as the ringtone functions as the Real food. Is that what you mean?

I might have forgotten Vygotsky and Leontiev. But from what I can take from
your own saying , it seems that the reverse might be the case. Because we
reject behaviorism as it does not go far beyond sensation and perception to
reach true cognition. And as we are talking about sciences , we should be
familiar with how concepts and categories are acquired. How we ascend from
the abstract to the concrete. How we form ideas , concepts and categories
by our acting on the World .That will take us to the concepts of necessity
and freedom. Vygotsky has much to say how actuality leads to concepts. We
cry of not being able to have control over our chaotic behavior ; therefore
we seek shelter in goal-oriented activities. Actions conduit not unbridled.

But in this you again see defects , conditions! How can one conduct an
action without being involved in Conditions (Ecology you say , OK.) ?
Conditions in the language of philosophy becomes Necessity which concept
Vygotsky likes and spends times to clarify its coming into being and this
is the niceties of Vygotsky’s work. One might take thought into word as one
direct line from external to internal. How energetic he was to see how it
shapes and it what phases and stages! He takes the blocks as real things
yet unrecognized or not gone through stages of true cognition. If there are
not blocks with properties , ideas are not created and blocks are
conditioned in quasi-real life circumstance (first abstraction from the
real life situation) as commodities act as units of analysis in Capital.

You , friend , talk of free development as though it can be achieved in
vacuum and in the air. Right now our unit of analysis in our current
science is that Bernie Sanders’ Medicare is in the Senate. If we say this
unit involves the whole world , we have not overestimated it. I hope some
great scholar won’t ask me if I’m weaving politics or knowledge!

Conditions come their own way out of our checks and controls. Freedom is on
the ground not in the air. How to know the shackles and how to change their
ways or how to remove them altogether.

All the best

Haydi
