Can I take the risk of opening a new parallel thread while we're all still
reading through Leontyev?
It has been a point of concern for me for a long time that there are two
psychologies which address cognition and begin from the normal ativity of a
human being in society, rather than the psychotic individual mind, viz.,
activity theory and Jungian Briggs-Myer Typology.
So far as I can see the Briggs-Myer types are well founded empirically and
are very satifactory from a conceptual point of view, but so far as I know
they lack any scientific connection with any other aspect of science, and
it is surely Vygotskian psychology (for want of a better word) which is
where one would look for a foundation.
Has anyone studied this?
