[Xmca-l] Re: "Crises as way for inner life" (Vygotsky apud Asmolov)

[Andy Blunden]

... which raises the intriguing question, Achilles, as to what Vygotsky 
meant exactly by "lytical" or "gradual" development. Is this also 
nevertheless a form of crisis?

I begin searching in entire Tom IV, where the problem of "Vozrastny Krizis" (Age crises)  is very important for the more advanced Vygotsky's concept of development. But the exact entry was not there.  Somebody have any suggestion? Off course, I will search another five volumes as well, but I guess I never read this before... My memory is not so good nowadays, but this phrase is specially impressive. This is also methodologically important. Because here we have a more productive, not mechanistic, interpretation of dialectical human condition as permanent conflict understood as social/personal way to we became what we not was until now... In my point of view.
