             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

               (Letter reprinted with permission.)







             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.
