The Collected Works of L. S. Vygotsky

Focusing on Vygotsky's contributions to psychology, this first English volume of his collected works includes a complete translation of "Thinking and Speech" and five previously unpublished lectures. These writings encapsulate his systematic approach to understanding childhood development in areas such as perception, memory, and emotions. Future volumes will address various psychological themes, including developmental psychology and special education. The translation choice reflects a deeper engagement with Vygotsky's original concepts.
