[Xmca-l] Re: Prehistory of Written Language????

Hello Francine Smolucha-

I can tell you with some certainty that the version that appeared in* Mind
in Society* came from the 1935 collection of his
essays. The 1928/29 date for origins is backed up by these notes (
attached) from an issue of Soviet Psychology/JREEP.

I hope you are well and safe.
By all means announce the public availability of your essay.

Angel's View of History

It is only in a social context that subjectivism and objectivism,
spiritualism and materialism, activity and passivity cease to be
antinonmes, and thus cease to exist as such antinomies. The resolution of
the theoretical contradictions is possible only through practical means,
only through the practical energy of humans. (Marx, 1844).
