<< The question you asked earlier about "must" reading is almost certainly
not answerable by one person on this list. Mohamed elhammoumi has written
provocatively that to understand activity theory, one must read Feurbach
and Marx. There is an interesting paper by Michael Hames tracing Marx
back to Herder and Forward to Vygotsky and cultural-historical psychology,
and certainly, Alfred Lang would urge reading Herder. If Arne Raithel was
with us he would point to PIERCE (in "dos Kapital letters!) :-). Leigh
Star would say Anselm Strauss. Yrjo would chime in with Bateson in addition
to many on that list, etc. >>
I would add Wittgenstein to the list (and have written pretty extensively on
how V and W complement/complete each other) and ditto re Marx.
