Opis

The contemporary debate in psychology and politics over the possibilities for human development has fuelled a renewed interest in the early Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky. In Lev Vygotsky: Revolutionary Scientist, Fred Newman and Lois Holzman argue that Vygotsky was a revolutionary who used - and advanced - Marx's method to make extrordinary discoveries about the nature of learning, development, thinking, speaking and playing.
