split as two object levels and two subject levels; its an aesthetic thing.
But my input is primarily to support the placement of the idea of mind as the
earliest governor of the biological level (and many of you (Roger?) may
rethink your concept of Biological Mind because of it) and be a judge or
intermediary of Biological Pattern conflicts. As such its been argued by
many
that it must be a part of the next higher level (which would be Social). I
had presented the ideas of Vygotsky and Marx as theories that describe this
as
the beginnings of sentience (mind thinking not INTELLECT WITH CAPITALS) and
social patterns (which they also say start as separate processes but later
combine and interact). I think that this is the MIND that people have been
using. I agree with the idea that this is just to clarify and not to add a
level. >>>>>>>>
OK. I was extending the term to include frog minds and panda- bear minds.
Maybe the right term here is brain? By the time we got 'em (minds) the social
level was upon us.....in fact I think their developments were necessary to
each other.
