| Publisher Description: This book presents to Western readers, for the first time, a current in late Soviet philosophy known as the 'activity approach'. Though lesser known than its counterpart in cultural-historical psychology (the thinking of Vygotsky and Leontyev), the activity approach became an intellectual mode, leading to several different interpretations of human activity and challenging Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy. |
