The video that HUW pointed to, which accompanies the second edition of the *Making of Mind *(and which someone copied that interview from and posted somewhere on the web), provides a good deal of the Sacks-Luria linkage, Greg. Larry-- I believe Rick Schweder (his essay in Culture Theory for example), is more concerned about the "anthropological rebellion against the enlightenment". He starts with Goethe, but includes a string of people whose ideas it would take some work to link to Sacks or to Luria's particular take on romantic science , but it could be worth the effort. Shweder: "A central idea of the romanticist view holds that ideas and practices fall beyond the scope of deductive and inductive reason, that ideas and practices are neither rational nor irrational but *non*rational" With respect to the following conjecture: > I wonder if the cultural historical understanding of human nature existing > within the "gap" between time T and time T+1 can be linked to > Shweder's notion of the existential search for meaning as ALWAYS UNCERTAIN? > For me the answer is yes. I will try to find an article where I make the connection between mediated human experience and "existential uncertainty." I believe it also speaks to the central role of imagination in human thought. mike __________________________________________ _____ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
