LEV VYGOTSKY

Lev Semenovich Vygotsky (Russian Лев Семёнович Выготский) (November 17, 1896 [November 5 in the old Russian calendar in Orsha, Russian Empire [now Belarus] - June 11, 1934 in Moscow, Soviet Union]), psychologist Belarus One of the most prominent theorists of developmental psychology and neuropsychology clear precursor of the Soviet prime example would be the Russian doctor Alexander Luria. It was discovered and reported by the academia of the West in the 1960s.
The prolific nature of his work and his early death has made it known as "the Mozart of psychology" (characterization created by Stephen Toulmin). The fundamental idea of his work is that human development can only be explained in terms of social interaction. The development is the internalization of cultural tools (like language) that do not initially belong to us, but belong to the human group in which we are born. These humans give us these cultural products through social interaction. The "Other", then, takes a leading role in the theory of Vygotsky.
