On Method and Philodoxy in the Understanding of Reality: An examination of L.S. Vygotsky's scientific work in the context of psychology - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This study proposes a reinterpretation - in contrast to what is commonly propagated - of L. S. Vygotsky's scientific project for psychology. It seeks to restore the theoretical priority of this author, which was the construction of a general theory for this science: a monistic developmental psychology. This reinterpretation is based on the premise that the author's original foundation has not been respected by those who seek to continue disseminating his ideas. The ultimate aim is to demonstrate that the commentators and researchers who succeeded Vygotsky tend to interpret his work in a biased manner, frequently claiming it to be a Marxist psychological theory, despite the author himself categorically stating that this was not his intention - indeed, he even levelled sharp criticism at the authors of his time who sought to do so. Vygotsky sought to achieve the unification of various psychological theories, which would culminate in a theory-method specific to the science of psychology; that is, in the convergence of various psychological theories into a monistic theory-method: a 'meta-vision' of the breadth of the psyche through a single principle.
