Psychology, quantitative or qualitative, tends to conceive of the
human person using metaphysical concepts and to separate the
practical, affective, and intellectual aspects of participation in
everyday life. Lev S. Vygotsky, however, was working towards a
"concrete human psychology," a goal that he expresses in a small,
unfinished text of the same name. This book articulates the
foundation of and develops such a concrete human psychology
according to which all higher psychological functions are relations
between persons before being functions, and according to which
personality is the ensemble of societal relations with others that
a person has lived and experienced. Correlated with concern for the
concreteness of human life and the psychology that theorizes it is
the idea that to live means to change. However, none of the
categories we currently have in psychology are categories of change
as such. In this work of concrete human psychology, categories are
developed on the basis of Vygotsky's work that are suitable to
theorize an ever-changing life, including the language humans use
to take control over their conditions and to talk about the
conditions in which they live.
