Description
L. S. Vygotsky's groundbreaking work on cognitive development is presented in this revised edition of Mind in Society. Carefully edited by a team of scholars, the book brings together a selection of Vygotsky's key essays, previously unavailable in English, to shed light on his sociocultural theory. At the heart of Vygotsky's approach is the idea that the mind cannot be understood in isolation from the surrounding society. He argues that humans use tools to alter their inner world, as well as the world around them, and that this uniquely human aspect of behaviour has been shaped by the course of human history. The book explores how society provides the individual with technology to shape the private processes of the mind, and examines its implications for education and child development.
