{"product_id":"an-interdisciplinary-theory-of-activity-9789004184060","title":"An Interdisciplinary Theory of Activity","description":"Andy Blunden presents an immanent critique of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory, the current of psychology originating from Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934). 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.","brand":"Andy Blunden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48309293809915,"sku":"9789004184060","price":174.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789004184060.jpg?v=1772491152","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/an-interdisciplinary-theory-of-activity-9789004184060","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
