Routledge - Vygotsky and Marx: Toward a Marxist Psychology

Vygotsky and Marx: Toward a Marxist Psychology by Routledge addresses two major gaps in the field of psychology. This book develops a clear Marxist orientation to the study of psychology and explains the significant contributions of Lev Vygotsky to this movement. By outlining the core principles of Marxist psychology, this work provides a framework for researchers to continue Vygotsky's legacy in new areas of the field. The text first documents the historical neglect of Vygotsky's use of Marxist concepts in previous studies. It then moves into detailed chapters that overcome this neglect by explaining how these concepts function within his theoretical approach. This book is a valuable resource for those studying the intersection of social theory and psychological development. It offers a deep look at how Vygotsky's work connects to Marxist thought, making it an essential addition to academic collections and studies focused on the evolution of psychological theory.
