Fascinating!!
I see the two as slight reframings of each other. In the original I sent out
there is nothing at all I can see about being aware that one is
re-inventing. I was sure not aware I was re-inventing (a bastardized)
version of Ilyenkov until Bakhurst told me about it. Does this mean I have
to switch quotation??
Now if only we could figure out "the trick" life would be even better than
the best of all possible worlds.
