Hi Eric,
Sawyer's problematization of "emergentism" is, in my oppinion, a relevant topic. He points somethings that yet have not been absolutelly solved by socioculturalists.
I sent the post thinking that human feelings, as a kind of new qualitative (re)building of emotions, could be usefull to illustrate the bloted limits between subject and context, organism and enviroment, biological and sociocultural dimensions of being - and the pertinence of all those theroretical problems of "emergentism" raised by Sawyer. But I failled - you're right.
Babbles usually can happen when english non-speakers at all try to figure out their thinking through writting - specially when they are hurry. That was the case. Sorry.

the difference between emotion and feeling, it is necessary, I think, "to give to Ceasar [biological dimensions of beeing] what is to be given to him and give God [historical and sociocultural dimension of psychsism] what is his".
ONce again a post from xmca has sparked in me both feeling and emotion. The feeling I have is of pursuing rigorous study of psychological phenomenon, the emotion I have is that it is wonderful to have others in the world who are interested in this same study; to distinguish and define these into separate contexts is impossible and yet my feeling of wanting to pursue study IS separate from my emotion of commonality. Theoretically I can give this emotion to God and own my feeling but when engaged in active practice I must admit that I often steal [sic. borrow?] that which isn't mine and engage in rants of uninteligible babble. . . . reference my struggle with measurement
What is it that distincly separates human feeling from human emotion and then from that, what is socio and what is individual?
>From sunny and cold Minnesota,
eric
