RE: Learning Paradox

["Geoff Hayward" <geoff.hayward@edstud.ox.ac.uk>]

Physiological metaphors one and all and a physiological system can but
react according to the set parameters (thank you Claude) and that is the
learning paradox. But if you move beyond the physiological individual
you find some bootstrapping devices, albeit limited by our collective
intelligence - which begs another question ....... an additional unit of
analysis - the activity system. But how does this arise and how well
does Activity Theory deal with issues of identity ... grey moments in an
English summer.
