Re: RES: [xmca] Perezhivanie and Dewey's concept of experience



I expect Ivo just sat that dangling issue there on purpose and I was also
delighted to see the connection to Dilthey.  To me
he stands for the "understanding" side of Wundt's duality between
volkpsychology and experimental psychology. Two sides of the crisis.

Add it to your list of quotations about perezhivanie, Andy, and lets link
it somehow to xmca.
