I was intrigued by the absract concerning Heidegger, Dewey and Leont'ev
regarding their commonalitiy of views on the concept of "breakdown" as a
step to new understandings. I am wondering if that could help me in my
current project.

I have been immersing myself in Bahktin, Casey, Ginsburg. But I feel I am
missing something. Any suggestions?
