I'm interested in the distinction between making sense of ourselves "as creators of meaning" and of "the source of differences in meaning."  Is the first more a matter of storytelling, and the second more a matter of creatureliness?  If our differences give rise to the meanings we create, then it is important to keep returning focus, in interaction and education, to the interplay of differences, rather than the coherence of meanings or frameworks. If what people have to offer one another, and the universe, by virtue of conflicts between our different ways of being is vital, then what are the implications for the set-up of relationships, schools, and all?  And how can we work towards a psychology that enables trusting conflict?
