The Cultural Mind: The Sociocultural Theory of Learning

‘The originality of Alex Kozulin’s new book relates to the fact that the sociocultural theory is presented as a set of interconnected key concepts. Each concept, in turn, is discussed in its development from the original idea to its further elaboration and practical implementation.’ Yuriy Karpov, Professor of Psychology and Education, Touro University

‘Written by a renowned authority on Vygotsky’s account of consciousness and its development, this latest work offers both an accessible synthesis of the theory’s central principles and an illustration of their relevance to education, with examples from diverse populations and across academic disciplines. A must-read!’ Matthew E. Poehner, Professor of Education and Applied Linguistics, Pennsylvania State University

‘Alex Kozulin is one of the pioneers of Vygotsky Studies as a translator and the author of the first whole-book intellectual biography of Lev Vygotsky. In his new book, Kozulin presents a creative ‘reconstruction’ of classical Vygotskian legacy, enhanced and rethought in the tradition of Reuven Feuerstein, and produces an exciting new synthesis in educational theory and practice for the 21st century.’ Anton Yasnitsky, author of Vygotsky: An Intellectual Biography
