David and others interested in Tool and Symbol-- In his article on Dot and Anna's fine collection of essays on ideas of non-classical psychology, Vladimir Zinchenko quotes from Tool and Sign (I think!), to the following effect. It is the workings of symbolic operations that allow for a completely novel type of psychological field to emerge; such a field is uniquely new because it does not rely on what already exists, but instead makes a sketch of the future, and in doing so, creates free action that in independent of the immediate situation. (citation of Russian version, 1984, p. 50). I have been searching the copy of T&S I have handy and can not find it. Might you, who are now taking a fine tooth comb to the text, be able to help out here? mike __________________________________________ _____ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
