Vygotsky’s Developmental and
Educational Psychology
Lev Vygotsky (1896–1934) was one of the most signi
uential
psychologists of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, true appreciation of his
theories has been hindered by a lack of understanding of the background to
his thought.
cant and in
Vygotsky’s Developmental and Educational Psychology aims to demonstrate
how we can come to a new and original understanding of Vygotsky’s theories
through knowledge of their cultural, philosophical and historical context.
Beginning with the main philosophical in
uences of Marxist and Hegelian
thought, this book leads the reader through Vygotsky’s life and the develop-
ment of his thought. Central areas covered include:
The child
Motivation and cognition
The relevance of Vygotsky’s theories to current research in developmental
psychology.
This comprehensive survey of Vygotsky’s thought will prove an invaluable
resource for those studying developmental psychology or education.
Peter E. Langford is a freelance psychologist, previously a
liated to Birkbeck
College, University of London, the University of Tasmania, and La Trobe
University, Australia.
