Hi Andy Thanks for that clarification. I responded from memory what I remember you wrote and I guess I "read" into your comment the term "merely". Merely is a wonderful term to "dismiss" the other persons position in a dialogue. Now that I'm aware the sense of frustration is the result of a 2 century old debate it puts your response in a new context :) Andy, I'm also aware that some scholars believe Valsiner is too biased toward "subjectivist" interpretations but there is always a tension between subjective, intersubjective, and hermeneutical or social representational "objective" accounts in the human sciences. Valsiner's 4 level U-shaped model of differential AND then de-differentiation [at the level of values] is certainly a perspective worth more reflection and dialogue. What do you think of the U-shape graph he developed? Larry _______________________________________________ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
