Introduction
sociality, learning, and the creative unfolding of human existence
Eugene Mario De Robertis
pp. 1-18
The introduction to the text outlines its approach to the study of learning and becoming, taking its lead from the interdependency that characterizes human existence throughout the entirety of the lifespan. Human sociality is seen as a readiness for learning that is already apparent in utero. This assertion in no way assumes a merely passive posture on the part of the developing person. Every human being evidences a degree of openness to learning in-the-world-with-others, the magnitude of which can be assessed on the basis of the learner's relative enthusiasm for learning. It is argued that human beings are creatures for whom there is a necessary confluence of learning and imagination (envisioned as a synthetic power with creative potential) in the unfolding of human becoming.
