Vera concluded with a quote from Luria:
There is no hope of finding the sources of free action in the lofty
realms of the mind or in the depths of the brain. The idealist approach
of the phenomenologists is as hopeless as the positive approach of the
naturalists. To discover the sources of free action it is necessary to
go outside the limits of the organism, not into the intimate sphere of
the mind, but into the objective forms of social life; it is necessary
to seek the sources of human consciousness and freedom in the social
history of humanity. To find the soul it is necessary to lose it.
A.R. Luria
and i wonder what research evidence Luria has to support such claims?

The English noun "identity" comes, ultimately, from the
Latin adverb "identidem", which means "repeatedly."
The Latin has exactly the same rhythm as the English,
buh-BUM-buh-BUM - a simple iamb, repeated; and
"identidem" is, in fact, nothing more than a
reduplication of the word "idem", "the same":
"idem(et)idem". "Same(and) same". The same,
repeated. It is a word that does exactly what
it means.
from "The Elusive Embrace" by Daniel
Mendelsohn.
