Anybody else read Prawat's piece in American Educational Research Journal
(39, 663-698)? I would be interested in the opinions of the Vygotsky
scholars on the list. In the paper Prawat argues that the two had a "meeting
of the minds", a mutual influence stemming from a possible FTF meeting in
1928, but at least from a demonstrable knowledge of each others work. Dewey
and Peirce (through Dewey) are said to have helped Vygotsky resolve his
"dilemma" with private and public meaning.
