Dear All,

I don't recall the earlier discussion on schema but oddly enough I started
reading Eco's 'Kant and the platypus' only a few weeks ago (its hard going,,
for me) and he uses the term and places it in its Kantian context.

But before implicating Baldwin, remember that as an English university man,
Bartlett almost certainly had a proper training in philosophy and that there
were notable Kantians in Britsh academic circles in the first part of the
1900's.
