Intermediary Action and Development

The article looks at the possibility to continue L.S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical concept in today’s world. The act of mediation in and of itself is presented as a problem, and an object of study, and it is represented as Intermediary Action. In attempts to determine the meaning of a sign the intermediary action becomes a human to which this sign is directed. Assigning a sign is the perception of the very transition “natural—cultural”. Here the meaning acquires the function of a pattern of action . The pattern acts as an object of coaction and is built like a relationship and border between the required and the other. Then, the Intermediary action develops into the perception of the pattern as the supportsystem of activity. The perception of the support system is the inclusion of the action in the space of its possibilities — its field. The inclusion in the space of possibilities needs action individualization. The perception of the limits of the space of possibilities as the scope of intention is the construction of Personal action.
