This important book fills two interrelated gaps in the field of
psychology, first by developing a Marxist orientation to psychology
and second by explaining how psychological pioneer Lev Vygotsky
contributed greatly to this trend. Through outlining core
principles in Marxist psychology, the book offers a framework for
continuing Vygotsky's Marxist legacy in new areas of the field.
This book first documents the neglect in Vygotskyian studies of his
deep use of Marxist concepts, and then subsequent chapters overcome
this neglect. They explain the use of many Marxist concepts in his
theoretical and methodological writings, demonstrating how Vygotsky
utilized specific Marxist meanings in his work on consciousness,
signs, development, imagination, creativity, secondary language
acquisition, and unit of analysis. Chapters also address how
Vygotsky dealt with incompatible theories and methodologies,
illustrating how Marxist and Vygotskyian psychology can grow from
anti-Marxist, anti-Vygotskyian approaches to psychology, such as
psychoanalysis. This book marks an original contribution to the
field of psychology, offering a new understanding of both
Vygotsky's work and cultural and Marxist psychology. Furthermore,
it expands the field of Marxism to include psychology. It will be
of interest to all students and researchers of cultural,
educational, and developmental psychology as well as the history of
psychology. It will also appeal to social theorists and Marxist
scholars.
