This book considers cultural psychology from historical,
theoretical, and epistemological perspectives, building an
understanding of cultural psychology as a human science and moving
beyond the nature-culture dichotomy. The unique collection of
chapters seeks to advance the field of cultural psychology by
reviving its historical legacies and arguing for its social
responsibility in future historical developments. It considers
European legacies for cultural psychology as developed by leading
figures such as Giambattista Vico, Wilhelm Wundt, Wilhelm Dilthey,
and Ernst Cassirer in order to provide insights into a long
tradition of thinking from a cultural psychology perspective. The
book discusses historical pathways in the rise and repression of
cultural psychology and its different historical forms, arguing for
the necessity of decolonizing psychology, securing a place for
culture in it, and developing an epistemology suited to humankind's
meaning-making processes in mutual shaping of psyche and culture.
It provides an integrative and historical understanding of the
subject and uses the diversity and heterogeneity within the field
to offer critical reflections on its achievements. The thoroughly
international group of contributors brings diverse analyses of
self, body, emotions, culture, and society and considers the future
of cultural psychology. The volume is a stimulating read for
scholars and students of cultural and theoretical psychology and
related areas including philosophy, anthropology, and history.
