Re: [xmca] Historical Development

Martin, David et al--

Martin's article deserves almost page by page or section by section
discussion and I have no
idea how to organize such systematicity here. The comments by several of you
have been equally
provocative and development promoting (at least for me!).

I am still trying to think through the issue of freedom as the recognition
of necessity in this framework of
discussion, wondering about LSV's claims to what a REAL, natural scientific
psychology would be, whether
primitives really do think like children (after erasing the confusion of
race and culture along lines suggested by
Paul), and many more issues dare trying to contribute substantially to the
discussion.

I interpret Martin's article as a great example of careful, scholarly, deep
study of key texts that raises very important
issues. Its an honor to be associated with that kind of scholarship, and the
commentaries generated "here."
