The Practical Essence Of Man: The 'activity Approach' In Late Soviet Philosophy (Paperback)

Paperback. This book presents to Western readers, for the first time, a current in late Soviet philosophy known as the activity approach. Though lesser known than its counterpart in cultural-historical psychology (the thinking of Vygotsky and Leontyev), the activity approach became an intellectual mode, leading to several different interpretations of human activity and challenging Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy. This book depicts in detail the rise and fall of a remarkable phenomenon in Soviet Marxism: The Activity Approach.
