in Activity Theory Series are specially priced at USD
$20 per book (plus shipping).
Volumes include:
- Awakening
to Life by Alexander Meshcheryakov
- The
Development of Mind by A. N. Leont'ev
- The
Ideal in Human Activity by E. V. Ilyenkov
This set covers the main lines of developments of
Activity Theory after the death of Vygotsky in 1934. AN Leontyev was a
colleague of Vygotsky who dealt with unresolved problems in extending
Vygotsky's theory a wider domain and is the starting point of all
Activity Theory today. Development
of Mind includes all the English translations of his work.
In Awakening
to Life,
Meshcheryakov applies the ideas of Luria and Vygotsky in the education
of deaf-blind children, and his work has profound philosophical
significance. The Ideal
in Human Activity
includes all the English translations of Ilyenkov's philosophical work.
Ilyenkov's reputation extends way beyond Activity Theory and Marxism,
and he is regarded as an authoritative interpreter of Marx and his
predecessors in German Philosophy. Together, the set of Classics in
Activity Theory provides a foundation in an important current of
Marxist and Psychological thought.
Purchase all three volumes as a set for the special price of $60 plus
shipping.
Together
with
these Soviet era classics we offer Hegel’s Logic, with a
Foreword by Andy Blunden, which introduces Hegel from the point of view

of Hegel’s texts.
Purchase the Classics
in Activity Theory books with Hegel's Logic for only $80 (plus
shipping).
