"This is a major synthetic contribution by Bob Innis to the fields of philosophy, psychology, and cultural history. Locating One's Life is the title that precisely summarizes the essence of the whole contribution—the active person is constantly involved in locating one's self within the coordinates of past-present-future, living and dying, health and non-health, and youth and non-youth, as well as many other parameters. Innis is the pathfinder between cultural psychology, philosophy, and history, and this book develops further his seminal work on Susanne Langer and John Dewey." — Jaan Valsiner, Aalborg University, Denmark
