Vygotsky & Bernstein in the Light of Jewish Tradition examines the role
that Jewish cultural tradition played in the work of the Russian
psychologist Lev S. Vygotsky and the British sociologist Basil Bernstein
by highlighting aspects of their respective lives and theories revealing
significant influences of Jewish thoughts and beliefs. The authors
demonstrate that theories and human life are dialectically
interconnected: what research can reveal about a man can also provide a
better understanding of the very nature of his theory. This book is a
valuable resource for psychologists, sociologists and students
interested in the sociocultural formation of mind.
