- I get the impression that there is some book or article by
- Agre from which I can learn the principles of interactionism.
- Could you tell me what that is? I'll be at ucla tommorrow
- so maybe I can take a look at it.
-
- the only published book is
-
- david chapman, _vision, instruction, and action_, mitp, 1991.
-
- it's about sonja. doesn't go into a lot of the philosophy, but if you
- spent .5hr w/ it, you could get some of the back ground.
-
- agre's thesis and the pengi papers are what i recommend. avery posted
- how to get the former.
-
- i really recommend preston's paper. it starts at exactly the same
- place as yr blind men paper, adn draws a v. diff conclusion.
-
- It just struck me that the three views of behavior described in
- my paper probably don't include the interactionist view. It
- might be hard to represent that view in my scheme since it
- seems that interactionists make no distinction between organism and
- environment -- thus eliminating both equations 1 and 2. That would
-
- there is no interactionist manifesto, or even well-defined canon.
- (there's pockets of interactionist work in phil, psych, anthro, ling,
- ai....) i'll also remind you that i've presented the most radical
- view of interactionism possible. a risky pedagogical move--though if,
- after having thoroughly jumped down my throat, you go off to
- investigate on your own....
-
- cheers.
