The Vigotski school and its contributions to a revolutionary practice

Keywords: Vigotski; psychology; cultural history; socialist transformation.

Abstract

The theoretical essay presents some elements of the School of Vygotsky, based on the foundations of Marxism, which brings an unique contribution to the understanding of the human psyche and its multiple determinations. Drawing on the ideas of Vygotsky and his direct collaborators, Luria and Leontiev, representatives of Soviet psychology, the article highlights the proximity of Vygotsky to Marx, when he selects the centrality of work as the genesis of social being, which allows relevant implications in the construction of the categorical complex of historical-cultural psychology. Thus, there is a close relationship between psychology and philosophy, based on the theoretical-methodological perspective of Vygotsky, indicating the socialist transformation of man. In this way, this article seeks to contribute to the construction of a categorial building for the understanding of how we become human, placing man in the midst of his social relations.
