[Marxism] Classics of Soviet Activity Theory back in Print (from MIA Publications)

[Einde O'Callaghan <eindeoc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Marxists Internet Archive Publications has published the first three 
volumes of CLASSICS IN ACTIVITY THEORY, reprints of English translations 
first published by Progress Publishers in the 1970s, of the second 
generation of Soviet followers of Lev Vygotsky. Since the fall of the 
Soviet Union, while remaining in the public domain, these works have 
become unavailable, in most cases even on the second hand market. And 
yet there is vast research community across the world which builds on 
Vygotsky and Activity theory, particularly in education departments.

Each of the three books beginning the series is a collection of the 
English translations from one of the three authors: Alexei LEONTYEV, 
Alexander MESHCHERYAKOV and Evald ILYENKOV, plus a short preface by 
Prof. Mike Cole of the University of California, San Diego. Every 
university or education faculty library should have this series.

Titles included are, from Leontyev, The Development of Mind: The Problem 
of the Origin of Sensation, The Biological and Social in Man’s Psyche, 
An Outline of the Evolution of the Psyche, The Historical Approach to 
Study of the Human Psyche, The Development of Higher Forms of Memory, 
The Psychological Principles of Preschool Play, The Theory of the 
Development of the Child’s Psyche, Child Development and the Problem of 
Mental Deficiency, Activity and Consciousness; from Ilyenkov, The Ideal 
in Human Activity: Dialectical Logic, Activity and Knowledge, The 
Universal, The Concept of the Ideal, Reflections on “Materialism and 
Empirio-Criticism” and Meshcheryakov, Awakening To Life: Deaf-blind 
Children, Problems of Deaf-blindness, Forming Behaviour and Developing 
Their Minds, Learning Programmes for the Deaf-blind.

for US$25+postage but purchasers of all 3, or 4 books with Hegel’s
