Original title of the Russian edition, Thinking and Speech While a bit dated, Vygotsky's work is still heavily cited by current pedagogical theorists like Marcia Baxter-Magolda and her collaborators. It was through reading Baxter-Magolda's work that I was first led to Vygotsky, and having seen his name just about everywhere I've since dug into the study of teaching and learning, I thought it high time I got back to the source. This translation is a readable, and as indicated in the book's preface, it's more than a translation, but also a rearrangement: as Vygotksy's organization suffered during his tubercular convalescence, the original Russian manuscript of his work was often redundant and difficult to read. Hanfmann and Vakar have eliminated much of the redundancy and have streamlined Vygotsky's arguments, making the resulting test more readable. Seeking to better understand the organic and functional relationships between language and thought, Vygotsky begins by critiquing theories of language and thought development that were in vogue at the time of writing (early 1930s). Specifically, he points to Jean Piaget and to William Stern, indicating difficulties in their theories. Piaget's development from egocentric thought and speech to society-driven thought and speech is criticized for assuming the existence of bonds between speech and thought that do not necessarily exist. His chief problem with Stern's theory of language development has to do with its insistence on "intentionality" as a root cause of vocalization, and rather than an aspect of it. (It should be noted to Piaget's later work, though suffering from a number of weaknesses that would be pointed out by others [for instance, Carol Gilligan], would later respond to some of Vygotsky's criticisms.) Vygotsky then moves to better understand the genetic roots of thought and speech in his fourth chapter, indicating how data support no clear-cut linear relationships between the development of thought and speech. This chapter is devoted to a deeper analysis of what he calls the "pre-intellectual elements of speech" and the "prelinguistic elements of thought." This is as far as I've read to date. So far the text is dense but accessible, and I'm finding many of the philosophical discussions fascinating. I'm particularly interested to continue reading the next chapters, which promise to discuss "concept formation" in children, and the roots of scientific learning. Ultimately my hope is to better understand the way that social forces (and in particular society-driven communication through speech and writing) purport to serve the development of scientific (and therefore mathematical) thinking. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

En el ámbito del pensamiento relacionado con la psicología y la lingüística, nadie nos ha enseñado mejor que Vygotsky cómo armonizar las exigencias del individuo con las de la sociedad y la cultura. Y nadie, tampoco, se ha atrevido a desarrollar, con tanta agudeza y rigor científico, una teoría general de las raíces genéticas del pensamiento y el lenguaje. En estas páginas el autor aborda algunos de los aspectos más importantes de esta teoría: desde el descubrimiento de las singulares maneras en que se en que los niños desarrollan los conceptos «científicos» hasta la demostración de la naturaleza psicológica específica del lenguaje escrito. La presente edición cuenta con un prólogo de Alex Kozulin -que constituye la mejor síntesis escrita hasta la fecha sobre la vida y la obra de Vygotsky- así como una excelente aportación a la historia de la de la psicología del siglo XX.
