             Book to come in 2024
             Nearing 90, prof.emeritus Stein Braten 
             wrote on his recently started new book,
             which, in its start, will be an appendix
             to the book [discussed beneath] which he 
             completed in 2023 and which is in final 
             proof-reading stage. 
             This photograph is from a working-room
             in his apartment in Sorumsgate, Lillestrom,
             February 9, 2024 [photo by son].
             He worked with enthusiasm until five days 
             before he left us April 27, 2024, due to 
             complications of a lung infection; he spent 
             the last three days of his life on the
             University Hospital at Lorenskog, Norway.
             His desire was to be active and working
             until the end, and the desire was fulfilled. 
             

             
             Completed book manuscript in 2023,
             towards publishing with likelihood
             in 2024: His new "Buber-oriented"
             book. 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 have
             been of core interest for Braten
             and Buber's thoughts are given 
             considerable space in the book.
        
             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.

               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
