Mind in Society: Development of Higher Psychological Processes - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The great Russian psychologist L. S. Vygotsky has long been recognized as a pioneer in developmental psychology. But his theory of development has never been well understood in the West. Mind in Society corrects much of this misunderstanding. Carefully edited by a group of outstanding Vygotsky scholars, the book presents a unique selection of Vygotsky’s important essays.

Praise for the previous edition:

“Now, at long last, we have a representative selection of [Vygotsky's] theoretical essays…It provides the sense we have long needed of Vygotsky’s over-all theoretical enterprise…Mind in Society puts [his] ideas into a broader theoretical context, and permits us at last to sort out for ourselves how Vygotsky’s work relates to that of his contemporaries and successors in the West.”
―Stephen Toulmin, New York Review of Books

“This is a landmark book, compulsory reading for students of developmental and adult cognition…Mind in Society should stimulate an awakened interest in Vygotsky as a contemporary force rather than a figure of historical interest.”
―Ann L. Brown, Contemporary Psychology
