Cultural-historical theory of psychological phenomena by L. S. Vygotsky
Abstract
The fate of Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky’s psychological theory is quite extraordinary. The creator of one of the most original theoretical systems in psychology remained unknown to the wider international psychological community until quite recently. Most of his works are still unpublished in his homeland, and nevertheless, he is regarded as one of the founders of modern Soviet psychology. What is most remarkable about Vygotsky’s teachings is that they only gained widespread recognition and began to exert increasing influence posthumously—about forty years after the author’s death.
