It is in chapter 2.
" I maintain that with the help of this model activity can be analyzed in its inner dynamic relations and historical change. However, this claim must be substantiated by using and transforming the model in the analysis of the development of concrete activities. In this chapter, the cultural evolution of learning will serve as such a developmental problem." (YE)

>It seems that metaphor has overtaken model. I am unsure as to what the theory or model of collective development in LBE is? A movement toward complexity? I have the feeling, I could be wrong, that you don't accept the marxist theory of social evolution that guided Vygotsky and Luria's thinking. It has always seemed to me that many of the more frequent contributors here reject the notion of social development in general. We all accept that the human organism grows up and goes through a series of transformations on the way to acquiring competence as a fully functioning member of society (even if we don't call that development). Your original statement about the tension between collective and individual process presumes something similar for the social. What is it?

He who wishes only to observe will observe nothing, for as he is useless in actual work and a nuisance in recreations, he is admitted to neither. We observe the actions of others only to the extent to which we ourselves act." - Jean Jacque Rousseau
