[Xmca-l] Re: anachronism

[David Kellogg]

Vygotsky uses the term "primitive", which he distinguishes from an organic
defect. But like "defect", the term has received more than its fair share
of moralistic effluvia. From our point of view, Vygotsky's terminology is
primitive. But our point of view is anachronistic.
