I did catch this post from Andy, though, which for me is quite exciting and provocative.
Andy: > How do you read Hegel? What do you make of Spirit? and so on. My answer is
"Activity." Read this way Hegel makes perfect sense.
Me: If the _formation_ of Geist be understood as the the formation of semiosically _in*formed_ activity, this (it seems to me) goes a long way toward a synlexic framing of not only Marx and Hegel, but also Peirce, Mead, LSV, and activity theory. Am I taking this too far?
I am making my first toddler steps toward reading Freire in the Portuguese (well, at least "reading" it side-by-side with the English). While I intend to be alert to differences among the discourses, what I am seeing at the outset is a Freirean discourse clearly informed by Hegel, but also strikingly compatible with my own Peircean proclivities.

For people who don't know Vygotsky &c. I describe my own philosophy as "Hegelian-Marxism with a pragmatist twist" - the pragmatist twist being Vygotsky &c. People from "the other two approaches" I think get some idea of where we're coming from that way.andy
