Summary

Since it was introduced to the English-speaking world in 1962, Lev Vygotsky's highly original exploration of human mental development has become recognized as a classic foundational work of cognitive science. Vygotsky analyzes the relationship between words and consciousness, arguing that speech is social in its origins and that only as children develop does it become internalized verbal thought.

Now Alex Kozulin has created a new edition of the original MIT Press translation by Eugenia Hanfmann and Gertrude Vakar that restores the work's complete text and adds materials that will help readers better understand Vygotsky's meaning and intentions. Kozulin has also contributed an introductory essay that offers new insight into the author's life, intellectual milieu, and research methods.

S Vygotskiĭ (Book)36editions publishedbetween1975and2012in4languagesand held by1,824 WorldCat memberlibrariesworldwideThe great Russian psychologist L.S. Vygotsky has long been recognized as a pioneer in developmental psychology. But somewhatironically, his theory of development has never been well understood in the West.

Mind in Society should correct much of thismisunderstanding. Carefully edited by a group of outstanding Vygotsky scholars, the book presents a unique selection of Vygotskys important essays, most of which have previously been unavailable in English. The Vygotsky who emerges from these pages canno longer be glibly included among the neobehaviorists. In these essays he outlines a dialectical-materialist theory of cognitivedevelopment that anticipates much recent work in American social science. The mind, Vygotsky argues, cannot be understoodin isolation from the surrounding society. Man is the only animal who uses tools to alter his own inner world as well as theworld around him. From the handkerchief knotted as a simple mnemonic device to the complexities of symbolic language, societyprovides the individual with technology that can be used to shape the private processes of mind.

In Mind in Society Vygotskyapplies this theoretical framework to the development of perception, attention, memory, language, and play, and he examinesits implications for education. The result is a remarkably interesting book that is bound to renew Vygotsky s relevance tomodem psychological thought. S Vygotskiĭ (Book)128editions publishedbetween1961and2012in4languagesand held by1,774 WorldCat memberlibrariesworldwide'The present volume ties together one major phase of Vygotsky's work, and though its principal theme is the relation of thoughtand language, it is more deeply a presentation of a highly original and thoughtful theory of intellectual development. Vygotsky'sconception of development is at the same time a theory of education. The book is, in many ways, more programmatic than systematic.It is at times distressingly swift in coming to conclusions that are reasonable in that special twilight shed by commonsenseobservation.

But even then, the common sense Vygotsky brings to his task is not from the armchair but from incessant observationof children learning to talk and learning to solve problems. Vygotsky's untimely death cut off a developing stream of experiments;yet his work is only now beginning to be reflected in the vigorous activity of contemporary Soviet psychologists and linguists.This book includes a comment section at the end by Jean Piaget.'

S Vygotskiĭ (Book)22editions publishedbetween1993and2016inEnglishand held by630 WorldCat memberlibrariesworldwideThe surge of contemporary interest in Vygotsky's contribution to child psychology has focused largely on his developmentalmethod and his claim that higher psychological functions in the individual emerge out of social processes, that is, his notionof the 'zone of proximal development.' ' Insufficient attention has been given to his claim that human social and psychologicalprocesses are shaped by cultural tools or mediational means. This book is one of the most important documents for understandingthis claim.

Making a timely appearance, this volume speaks directly to the present cris. S Vygotskiĭ (Book)15editions publishedbetween1926and2008inEnglish and Russianand held by518 WorldCat memberlibrariesworldwideWhen this classic book was first published in 1926, L.S. Vygotsky was well on his way to becoming one of the leading intellectualsin Russia. His study of the psychology of education led him to believe that the child should be the main figure in the educationalprocess - and the efforts of the teacher should be directed toward organizing, not dictating, the child's development. 'Theeducational process must be based on the student's individual activity.' He states in Educational Psychology, '. Andthe art of education should involve nothing more than guiding and monitoring this activity.'

At a time when most educationconsisted of rote memorization and thwacks across the wrist with a ruler, these ideas were considered quite radical. Today'seducators can find much that is of use in the pages of Educational Psychology. Vygotsky addresses many issues that are stillrelevant in the 1990s - abnormal social behavior, the nurturing of creativity and reasoning, problems with attention and memory- in a bold and opinionated fashion that is sure to delight educators as well as lovers of classical Russian writing.

As the volume requiresno preparatory reading it can be used both as an introduction to the key ideas in Vygotsky's work, and as a companion to thetheoretical and historical analysis presented in van der Veer and Vlasiner's Understanding Vygotsky.

Although born in thesame year of 1896, it is only over the last decade or so that the work of Vygotsky has rivalled that of Piaget in importancein the Western world. Piaget, Vygotsky and Beyond examines the contribution made by these two seminal figures and assessestheir possible influence over future work to be carried out in the next few years leading into the new millennium. Arrangedaround five themes (educational intervention and teaching, social collaboration and learning, cognitive skills and domain-specificity,the measurement of development and the development of modal understanding), each paper is followed by a discussant's comments.- Publisher description.
