RE: [xmca] Where is thinking?

["Peter Smagorinsky" <smago@uga.edu>]

Dot Robbins's Prologue to LSV's Collected Works, Vol. 6, Scientific Legacy
(Kluwer/Plenum, 1999) does a nice job of positioning LSV relative to
Descartes and describes well LSV's effort to unify the field of psychology
in monistic rather than dualistic terms (i.e., viewing human consciousness
as a single, distributed whole rather than as a set of binaries, e.g.
mind/body). I began reading Vol. 6 last week but have been inundated with
work and so have not gotten beyond p. 12, unfortunately.

Ludwig lives! I never would have thought of finding him, and the lchc
newsletters of old, on google. Thanks for that bit knowledge, Steve.

I think Jorge has a good point in his critical comment; what I found most
interesting was the idea of sources of thought outside the individual
being inside (as well) because the entire individual/society "binary" is so
problematic and because whatever one's final judgment concerning
this formulation, it reminds us that this problematic antedate's LSV's work
and tells us something about the intellectual mileu (as goes Valsiner
in The Guided Mind) that is worth keeping in mind (wherever that may be!)
