Hi Sen,

thank you for your participation in the opinion poll. From the answers of
most of the other participants and from the limited number of participants
I have the impression that most of them will not continue what you call an
"interesting thread".

Do you have any idea why people have such difficulties in understanding my
question ? (see for instance Bob Binkley "... I have trouble seeing the
difference
between the options....").

Are they afraid of the question ? In Heidelberg (1992) Maturana said "When
you own the truth, you cannot reflect upon it". Could this be a reason ?

I know the book on enactivism through my contacts with Ernst von Glasersfeld
(since 1985). You know probably from his book "Radical Constructivism: A Way
of Knowing and Learning", that Ernst was for more than 15 years in Milan and
worked with Silvio Ceccato. In 1981 I met Silvio Ceccato and began to
cooperate with him. In this way I have been introduced to the other
disciples of the Italian Operational School and have begun my contact with
Ernst von Glasersfeld.

Ciao,

Marco.
