| Summary |
This collection applies the interdisciplinary tradition of social, philosophical, and psychological analysis of human learning and development understood through the concept of 'activity'. It is the first to explicitly reach back to the tradition's original critical impulse within which the writings of Karl Marx played such a central role. |
