Annotations

“Mental events have their history in the present. As we will see, nothing physiological transforms into psychology, nothing individual into society or history. A transformation does not exist; there are different encryptions and different methods of observation, but there are not different objects” (p. 155).

See Commentary 2: “The Contemporaneity of Mental History” (pp. 154-55).
