"Nothing human is foreign to me" ... not even Marxism, it would seem!
On reflection, my last would seem to expose fundamental distinctions between developmental psychology (which is to say, that I believed without question and was handed to me from above) and geopolitical psychology (which is to say, that I have great doubts in but continue to create and replenish regardless. I can deal with uncertainty).
It's a shame that many people's minds are dominated by the one and the other is barely known.
How in geopolitical psychology is a person born, grows up and dies?
That is the question we have yet to answer, even after eight years of study.
(Well, nearly so. I coined the term in May 1998, and it might as well be May now).
At least the distinctions aren't so gaping as the ones between modernism and postmodernism.
Perhaps Sartre was right: Existentialism is a humanism.
Not the humanism, else I would be driven quite mad.
And it's very interesting that Montaigne could be taken as an existentialist if he lived today, or at least in the last half-century.
Back to my book of Marxist philosophers: ie. Luria, Vygotsky and other very interesting people.
Geopolitical Tensions ate my Portfolio! Enjoy!
Gramsci *was* geopolitics to me, when I was much younger. "Cold-eyed I contemplate the world" - though I really *can't* without tears welling in my eyes at a mention of him. Here he is on Marxists.org.
Lots of other interesting Marxists and their writings. There was another Soviet psychologist, who I had forgotten. But he is more relevant perhaps to my project, than anyone else here.
He is the one who did CHAT (And this is NOT what are you thinking - stop sniggering in the back there!). That is the Activity Theory and I've forgotten the C and H parts of it. And his name begins with L I think.
