Review: "Vygotsky's Developmental and Educational Psychology aims to demonstrate how we can come to a new and original understanding of Lev Vygotsky's theories through knowledge of their cultural, philosophical and historical context. Beginning with the main philosophical influences of Marxist and Hegelian thought, this book leads the reader through Vygotsky's life and the development of his thought." "This comprehensive survey of Vygotsky's thought will prove an invaluable resource for those studying developmental psychology or education."--BOOK JACKET.
