A volume in Advances in Cultural Psychology Series Editor: Jaan
Valsiner, Clark University Cultural psychology is currently in a
phase of rapid growth. Innovating Genesis is an example of how the
most central aspect of any science-its methodology-undergoes
revolutionary transformation. Yet in this book we see careful
continuity with the past of the discipline. The orientation to
study processes of emergence was well prepared by the
Ganzheitspsychologie tradition in early twentieth century. If we
all have learned something about the world since then it is the
inevitable quality of the whole that transcends its parts.
Scientists have tried to grasp the general notion of such
wholes-yet recurrently regressing to the easy illusion that one can
reduce the complexities of the in vivo events to the scrutinizes in
vitro. By looking to the history of how holistic ideas might help
our present investigations, this book demonstrates how contemporary
science has something to learn from its own history.The editors of
this volume have managed to bring together a creative international
team of scholars whom they have guided to be on target of the
content matter of the book-innovating the genesis of the methods
for the study of psychological emergence.
