Bøker av Rene van der Veer

This is an edited (introduced and annotated) book by the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky who belongs to the most well-known social scientists of the previous century. The book deals with an aspect of his life and work that is little known, notably his involvement with child studies.

This book, first published in 2000, charts the intellectual history of the idea of socially constructed mind through the examination of four key theorists. The authors elaborate on their notion of intellectual interdependency in the development of scientific ideas and they take a new look at how progress in science is a socially constructed entity.
