Contemporary thinkers and researchers from different parts of the
world involved in achieving human development employ Vygotsky's
theory in order to deal with new social challenges arising in a
global but deeply divided world (Santos, 2000; Souza e Santos,
2008; Martin-Baro, 1998). The chapters of this book shed light onto
Vygotsky's initial principles adding critical and social
perspectives as a way of expanding his legacy to global
contemporary needs such as a critical reflection from the
perspective of social change, social dynamics and human
development, ethical-political situations of action power,
dialectic relationship of the human being with society,
contradictions in an individual's dramatic life events and
awareness of the social environment to actively change the existing
forms of life.

This book is an exploration of science in the making. It offers
readers the opportunity to critically reflect on the process of
development of Vygotsky's research program from the perspective of
dialectics, focusing on the dramatic process of building and
rebuilding cultural historical theory. Vygotsky's creative and
dramatic journey is no less important than the concrete results of
his research. An epistemological and historical investigation of
the formulation of cultural historical theory sheds light on the
process of knowledge production and reveals hidden dimensions of
creativity in science.
