Andy's "abstraction" is his intro of when Leontev says,
"But what is human life? It is that totality, more precisely, that system
of activities replacing one another. ... activity appears as a process in
which mutual transfers between the poles “subject-object” are accomplished.
“In production the personality is objectivized; in need the thing is
subjectivized,”
What I take from this is the dialectics involved in the object / subject
relation. Mike mentioned "copying" of the external to the internal vs the
"creating" of the internal - not a direct copy. I agree with the "creating"
but even that is the relationship again - externalization. So, in my reading
of chapter 3 I am trying to keep in focus activity as that dialectical
process - rather that say situating the subjective against the objective or
internal against external.
