Document Summary
He"s seen as a chef leader of modern cultural psychology despite being dead for a while. He came before the cognitive revolution and died at the young age of 37, and only really had a career for about ten years. He is described as a brilliant man who in uenced a lot of people and things. He lived in the soviet union (took a while for the west to notice/translate his work) and remember that the su was a dictatorial regime (how much of what published is untouched by the government?). This is pretty relevant because he published a marx version of psychology. Marx"s theory assumes that human are di erent from animals because they work in a way to transform the world as no other animal does. His psychology focuses on the understanding of psychology that is changed due to the nature of this human - work relationship.
