Alex Kozulin, translator of Vygotsky's work and distinguished
Russian-American psychologist, has written the first major
intellectual biography about Vygotsky's theories and their
relationship to twentieth-century Russian and Western intellectual
culture. He traces Vygotsky's ideas to their origins in his early
essays on literary criticism, Jewish culture, and the psychology of
art, and he explicates brilliantly his psychological theory of
language, thought, and development.
Kozulin's biography of Vygotsky also reflects many of the
conflicts of twentieth-century psychology--from the early battles
between introspectionists and reflexologists to the current
argument concerning the cultural and social, rather than natural,
construction of the human mind.
Vygotsky was a contemporary of Freud and Piaget, and his
tragically early death and the Stalinist suppression of his work
ensured that his ideas did not have an immediate effect on Western
psychology. But the last two decades have seen his psychology
become highly influential while that of other theoretical giants
has faded.
