Lev Vygotsky has acquired the status of one of the grand masters in
psychology. Following the English translation and publication of
his Collected Works there has been a new wave of interest in
Vygotsky, accompanied by a burgeoning of secondary literature.
Ronald Miller argues that Vygotsky is increasingly being 'read' and
understood through secondary sources and that scholars have claimed
Vygotsky as the foundational figure for their own theories,
eliminating his most distinctive contributions and distorting his
theories. Miller peels away the accumulated layers of commentary to
provide a clearer understanding of how Vygotsky built and developed
his arguments. In an in-depth analysis of the last three chapters
of Vygotsky's book Thinking and Speech, Miller provides a critical
interpretation of the core theoretical concepts that constitute
Vygotsky's cultural-historical theory, including the development of
concepts, mediation, the zone of proximal development, conscious
awareness, inner speech, word meaning and consciousness.
