>Subject: correction
>The basic ideas in Sayeki's anthropomorphic epistemology is to dispatch
>'kobitos' (viewpoints, or rather sense-points) to the object (thing or
>person),
>then to integrate them through inner conversations among 'kobitos' to
>make a unified sense.
>However, this kind of inner activity does not easily happen, unless the person
>has the prolepsis that the activity sphere with object or person would make
>some unknown benefit for the development of his/her indentity in the sphere.
>This kind of prolepsis, "Something good must happen to me (and others, too),
> if I have 'got into' the activity sphere (yet-to-be-recognized as a
>'community'),"
>should be initiated by the encounter and interaction with a particular
>person,
>to be called <YOU> (e.g., Mother to a baby), who is trustworthy and proleptic
>to the development of the person's self. (It is often the case that <YOU>
>initiate the dispatch of kobitos to the person, which later becomes
>reciprocal.)
>Only when the person encounter with <YOU>, he/she start dispatch kobitos
>to the variety objects/persons in the proleptic activity sphere around <YOU>.
>THE WAY TO DISPATCH KOBITOS WOULD BE JOINTLY LEARNED WITH THE <YOU>,
> TO BE A PART OF CULTURAL PRACTICE .
>The person gradually see and engage in the other persons/objects in the
>sphere behind <YOU>, thus the sphere will be extnded to be a community
>i.e., <THEY-world>.
>Person is led to participate in the community of practice through this
>encounter with <YOU>, thus the participation (formation of the identity)
>in LPP is socially and mutually constructed through the
>kobito-dispatching to the objects and persons in the proleptic sphere.
