Lev Vygotsky, the great Russian psychologist, had a profound
influence on educational thought. His work on the perception of
art, cultural-historical theory of the mind and the zone of
proximal development all had an impact on modern education. This
text provides a succinct critical account of Vygotsky's life and
work against the background of the political events and social
turmoil of that time and analyses his cross-cultural research and
the application of his ideas to contemporary education. Rene van
der Veer offers his own interpretation of Vygotsky as both the man
and anti-man of educational philosophy, concluding that the
strength of Vygotsky's legacy lies in its unfinished, open nature.
