This is a great thread, which encouraged me to go back to Conversation and Cognition this morning. I then proposed that we work through it, chapter by chapter, in the reading group I facilitate, & add Potter's follow-up paper from 2006, in which he responds to Drew.
So thanks!

Not to defend 'the Manchester programme' & certainly not Button's book, but I don't think your criticism sticks. Anderson & Sharrock have argued that EM is 3rd Person Phenomenology. AFAIK, none of that old Manc crowd have ever argued that EM is a method, Rod Watson explicitly argued against the idea

Yes, that doesn't ring any bells for me, in that it's not a passage I'm immediately familiar with. Though the topic of the passage does sound like Koffka on behavioral environments (to be contrasted with geographic environments). So I'd be inclined to think it is Koffka and not Kohler.

You probably know already, but for those reading this thread who don't, John Dupre has a paper titled "Are Whales Fish?" share.google/R3uTMQCCgI4o...
Which pairs well with his earlier paper "Natural Kinds and Biological Taxa"

Because it's not about warning in the sense of encouraging people not to watch/read potentially distressing material it's about not being held responsible for someone's distress. If you've warned someone & they choose to watch/read then you're not liable for their distress.

The Elephant Man.
I watched it again last year with my son Chinua (15 at the time). We sat there for ten minutes after in silence, before he hugged me (I had something in my eye) & then had a couple of hours of life affirming conversation. We still find ourselves taking about it now.

I didn't see that. I actually thought that if anything SA got a rough deal from the ref in the second half. Though I wouldn't make a big deal of it. Great game but about the right result. Can't wait for the next one.
