{ "item_title" : "An Interdisciplinary Theory of Activity", "item_author" : [" Andy Blunden "], "item_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.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/00/418/406/9004184066_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "183.00", "online_price" : "183.00", "our_price" : "183.00", "club_price" : "183.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
