Tracing the roots of this theory from Goethe, Hegel and Marx, the author draws out the principles with which Vygotsky developed a theory of the mind in which the individual and their social situation form a single Gestalt, transcending the problems of mind-body dualism. Blunden follows the efforts of later members of the School to resolve outstanding problems in Vygotsky's work. This includes a critical appropriation of Leontyev's Activity Theory and Michael Cole's cross-cultural research on the role of context in learning. The outcome is a concept of activity which transcends the division between individual and social domains in human sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47607226564759,"sku":"9789004184060","price":18585.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004184060.webp?v=1775045792","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-interdisciplinary-theory-of-activity-9789004184060","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
