A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

In this concise intellectual biography of L. S. Vygotsky, eminent Vygotskian authority René van der Veer has written an accessible account of the major periods of Vygotskys career, reviewing the development of Vygotskys thinking in plain and often witty language, a service of immeasurable importance, given Vygotskys notorious indifference to his readers sensibilities. Van der Veers encyclopedic knowledge of Vygotskys life and career enable him to situate Vygotskys youth and his adult work in a historical context that helps Vygotsky emerge as a man of his times and a scholar whose own intellectual development was a product of his innate brilliance in relation to the mediating context of his era. This volume is straightforward and edifying enough for undergraduates, and stimulating and informative enough for those who have been immersed in Vygotskian scholarship for many decades. --Peter Smagorinsky, Distinguished Research Professor of English Education, The University of Georgia, USA

Présentation de l'éditeur :

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. René 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.
