If you have a fairly decent grasp of Edelmann's theorys, sketching them out further for the list would be a valuable contribution. We (the marxist tradition) have bungled too often by putting all our eggs into this or that scientific theory which then dissolved, but still I feel "neural darwinism" comes closer than any other psychological/neurological theory I know of to lending support to Marx's critique not only of the 'old' materialism but also of the bourgeois "abstract -- isolated -- individual." Someone quoted Skinner's "Consciousness is a social product," but that is too mechanical -- i.e., it puts the machine (society) on one hand, the isolated invidual on the other as the "product." As far as I can grasp them, Edelmann's conceptions allow for consciousness existing only within social relations, but not separating it as an isolated billiard ball.
