Bill, list, In addition to the story of Genie, there's plenty of evidence in developmental psychology that reasoning, and indeed language, is a social phenomenon. I'd mention Vygotsky and Tomasello, but then i'd have to leave out all the others. I'm surprised to see this part of your message

Arnold was always so kind, encouraging and enthusiastic in his post. And always bubbling with interesting ideas. Like so many others I will miss him. And remember him as an ideal to follow. Thanks for informing us John. My sympathies to you and Arnold's family and friends. A sad day. Jim

John and Peirce list, This is very shocking and sad news of the loss of a fine scholar and, in my estimation, a great soul. Over the years Arnold and I had a number of fruitful email exchanges on Peirce-l and privately. Late last year he sent me a report which included analyses relating to

Hi, Jim, I read at gmane about Arnold Shepperson's death. Would you do me a favor and tell peirce-l that I too am shocked and saddened by this. I've just re-read some off-list correspondence that I had with him back in February, and I'm not quite sure at the moment what either one of us was

Thanks for mentioning this, Joe. You are absolutely right: I, first time around, didnt think Id find much of interest in a long paper on safety and hazard in South African mines. A closer, but not yet adequate look, overturned that superficial assessment: the Peirce summaries are great,
