RE: [xmca] Abduction, Creativity and Imagination



Dear Martin and Larry, 

I agree to be able to connect these different perspectives and that goes for
Valsiner as well would be far richer and perhaps closer to the truth.
However there are some hurdles to be overcome. Have you read Anne Edwards
(2007) article: An interesting resemblance: Vygotsky, Mead, and American
Pragmatism in Daniels, Cole and Wertch (eds). The Cambridge companion to
Vygotsky?

Preparing for classes is keeping me from participating actively in these
fascinating lines of discussion. Here's grist for the imagination mill:
