Re: [xmca] perception

[Andy Blunden <ablunden@mira.net>]

Thanks David. Vygotsky is reporting Stern's work in the 
citation I gave,
but refers to the method "introduced into psychology a long 
time ago" so
he wasn't even going to give Stern credit for originality in 
this instance.
But anyway, I can cite "unpublished work by D. Kellogg" for
authetication. Thank you.

It intrigues me the doggedness of the prejudice of analytical
philosophy, going back centuries and right up to the present 
day, that
perception and indeed the Universe itself, begins with 
arbitrarily small
individual chunks and composes the whole from there up, bit 
by bit. And
there is no basis in fact for the prejudice at all. I could 
cite Liberal
and bourgeois ideology, I suppose, but even then it seems 
difficult to
accept.
