Christine [and others] I'm in over my head with this question and was hoping with the right question to further the conversation and thereby expand my understanding of *aesthetic reaction* as a concept. This term for Vygotsky seemed to be central to his elaboration of a *method* of analysis that he then applied to concept development. This method was exploring the *essence of a phenomena. The article Christine recommended from the site *Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy* [p 8] has this statement: For Wittgenstein complexity, and not reduction to UITARY ESSENCE, is the route to conceptual clarification. Reduction to a simplified MODEL by contrast, yields only the illusion of clarification in the form of conceptual incarceration ( a picture held us captive) As I mentioned I'm in over my head.
