Siste bok
En helt ny norsk bok om kommunikasjon
mellom barn og voksne. Teamer inkluderer
dialog, modellmakt, perspektiver,
umiddelbarhet, hierarki og nettverk. I mange
tiår har sosiologiske trekk ved Martin Buber's
Ich und Du vært sentral for Bråten; og Buber
vies god plass i boken.
This book has themes which
include communication between
children and adults--dialogue, model
power, perspectives, immediacy,
hierarchy, networks and more. For
decades, sociological aspects of
Martin Buber's Ich und Du was
of core interest for the
Stein Braten, and Buber's thoughts
are given considerable space in
this book, which, in the words of
the preface by a professor of
psychology at the University of
Oslo, sums up his most important
insights over his whole career;
a preface that was a delight to
Stein Braten, who reached completion
with this book before he left us.

The main postulate (on the Virtual Other)
as proposed in Born with the Other in Mind
led to a conference and the Cambridge University
Press book (edited by S.Braten), which brings
together scientists from many fields of research
in cross-disciplinary efforts at dialogue.
(click here for info on this and other
books and articles, many of which deals with the
Virtual Other theory).
The virtual other is, as suggested by
this author, a companion space, in-born
in the mind in an immediate sense,
which invites actual others for
protoconversation from birth, and is
a ground for socialised cognitive contact
of a pro-compassionate kind as well
Letter from Professor Daniel N. Stern, Geneva, on
December 5, 1993, to this author on the manuscript
'Born with the Other in Mind':
Dear Professor Stein Bråten,
First, I want to tell you how much I appreciate
your recent book.
I think it is a major contribution. I
congratulate you.
Secondly, I regret to tell you that I will be in
the U.S. at the time of [your] symposium on
Intersubjectivity..." in August, 1994. I will
not be able to attend as it falls during our
family holidays. It sounds terrific and I will
certainly miss much.
I don't know if you have any plans to be in
this area soon -- ICIS in Paris in June? I shall
visit my daughter in Göteborg, Sweden in April.
Perhaps there is some way to get together.
Yours Sincerely
Dan Stern

February 9, 2024, a month and a half
before he left us at March 27, 2024,
professor emeritus Stein Braten was
still active writing on his theory
of the virutal other, his views of
dialogue, his opinions of Martin
Buber's approach and was delving
ever-deeper into his next project,
an elucidation of Alfred North
Whitehead's Process and Reality.
That project is becoming an appendix
of the more Buber-oriented book
that Stein Braten completed in 2024
before he died.
His desire was to be active and working
until the end, and the desire was fulfilled.
