To all;
Having been outspoken in the aspect of contextualisation and the
inseparability of knowledge and social context I would just like to take this
opportunity to salute R. [hmmmm what does the R stand for?] Keith Sawyer's
attempt at providing the concept of emergentism as a distinct psychological
phenomenon. I must add that even though I have in the past been a bit of a
purist regarding the social/individual connection; having read Valsiner I
believe his scientific study of individual psychological as purposfully
relevant to explaining how people learn and share their knowledge. Possibly
this concept of emergence is an opportunity to move the field of psychology
into scientific query rather then anthropological ethnology.
Enjoying the discussion,
eric
