In the 1950’s I set out to revolutionize logic. I didn’t succeed (not yet!), but it wasn’t for want of trying. Logic has always fascinated me. In the common-sense sense of the word logic was easy; I had no inclination to commit the obvious errors of reasoning, and long chains of deductions were not intimidating.

There are appendices on medical biographies, on sources and problems, on the vexed question ofhuman dissection in Roman times, and on R...

In this paper I present an approach to understanding the dialogical self that considers the role that social, cultural and institutional dynamics of domination and subordination, and structures of power of privilege, play in the development of identity. To accomplish this I expand Penuel and Wertsch’s (1995) ‘mediated action’ approach to identity development to include a dialogical process of w...

This professional autobiography is based on a talk given as the recipient of the 2009 Bruno Klopfer Distinguished Contribution Award. It includes a discussion of 5 of my habits that might be useful as a guide for future awardees including 1. send everything that you write to everyone you know (and ask for their help); 2. don't be afraid to pick up what's been dropped by others; 3. don't be afra...
