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.

Das Einfuhrungsbuch stellt den aktuellen Stand der
Kulturpsychologie bezuglichtheoretischer Ansatze und Methoden in
der Breite dar. Es wird zudem aufgezeigt, wie stark sie in
verschiedenen Handlungsfeldern verankert ist. Die Kulturpsychologie
ist ein interdisziplinares Forschungsgebiet, das weniger darauf
abzielt, menschliches Verhalten und Erleben objektiv und kausal zu
erklaren, sondern vielmehr bestrebt ist, psychische Phanomene im
jeweiligen soziokulturellen Kontext zu verstehen. Hierbei folgt sie
einem theoretischen Grundverstandnis, den Menschen als aktiv
handelndes Wesen aufzufassen. Sie betont damit im Vergleich zur
vorherrschenden nomothetisch ausgerichteten Psychologie andere
theoretische und methodische Zugange und stellt insbesondere
Intentionalitat, Bedeutungsstrukturiertheit und nicht zuletzt
Kulturalitat menschlicher Existenz heraus. Die Kulturpsychologie
bezieht sowohl hermeneutische Ansatze in Psychologie, Philosophie,
Soziologie und Ethnologie als auch qualitative Methoden zur
Erforschung menschlichen Handelns und Erlebens ein.
