This book brings together a group of scholars from around the world
who view psychology as the science of human ways of being. Being
refers to the process of existing - through construction of the
human world - here, rather than to an ontological state. This
collection includes work that has the goal to establish the newly
developed area of cultural psychology as the science of
specifically human ways of existence. It comes as a next step after
the "behaviorist turn" that has dominated psychology over most of
the 20th century, and like its successor in the form of
"cognitivism", kept psychology away from addressing issues of
specifically human ways of relating with their worlds. Such linking
takes place through intentional human actions: through the creation
of complex tools for living, entertainment, and work. Human beings
construct tools to make other tools. Human beings invent religious
systems, notions of economic rationality and legal systems; they
enter into aesthetic enjoyment of various aspects of life in art,
music, and literature; they have the capability of inventing
national identities that can be summoned to legitimate one's
killing of one's neighbors or being killed oneself. The
contributions to this volume focus on the central goal of
demonstrating that psychology as a science needs to start from the
phenomena of higher psychological functions and then look at how
their lower counterparts are re-organized from above. That kind of
investigation is inevitably interdisciplinary - it links psychology
with anthropology, philosophy, sociology, history and developmental
biology. Various contributions to this volume are based on the work
of Lev Vygotsky, George Herbert Mead, Henri Bergson and on
traditions of Ganzheitspsychologie and Gestalt psychology.
Psychology as the Science of Human Being is a valuable resource to
psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, biologists and
anthropologists alike.
