Re: [xmca] Classics in Activity Theory



I feel similar Steve. I like everything of his. But I have 400 pages of him and I took into account the problems that people on xmca most talk about in connection with Ilyenkov: the ideal or universal, activity, Hegel exegesis, Marx, Feuerbach and Hegel, the theory of reflection, ...

Why thank you, Andy. And thanks for the references. I've read those articles on MIA. I don't happen to see them as dated, and I find them well worth reading as philosophical and Marxist literature ... but I have yet to see anything by Ilyenkov I don't feel that way about. So that isn't much help, is it? LOL

Steve, I am cc-ing Mike, so that when he gets your order he will knock $5 off the price. ... whatever that comes to.

The Ilyenkov articles I omitted are:

From the Marxist-Leninist Point of View

http://www.marxists.org/archive/ilyenkov/works/articles/humanism-science.htm
Humanism and Science

I can't recall any more, though my memory is that it was more than the two. These are both on marxists.org and I have them laid out read to print if there is a demand.

Congratulations, Andy. I've put my order in. I would have held off getting the Hegel's Logic a couple months ago if I'd known there was going to be a deal for all four books today! LOL You mention below "I have omitted several possible articles on political issues which I felt were dated" - just curious, which articles.

For Leontyev, it's the collection: "Problems of the Development of Mind" (1981) plus his article "Activity and Consciousness". For Ilyenkov we have the beautiful collection "Dialectical Logic" plus several articles published in various places mainly around the problem of the ideal, and one which many people on this list would not have seen, his book on "Materialism and Empirio-Criticism". For Meshcheryakov I have just his famous book on deaf-blind children, my favourite actually.

I have not published Leontyev's "Activity, Consciousness and Personality" because (1) there are copyright issues and (2) It is apparently a poor translation. With Ilyenkov, I am saving up his "Abstract and Concrete in Marx's Capital" for later if there is demand and I have omitted several possible articles on political issues which I felt were dated.

1,090 pages in all.

Subject: [xmca] Classics in Activity Theory
Colleagues,

marxists.org have just published 3 books of Soviet era
translations of Leontyev, Ilyenkov and Meshcheryakov -
altogether over 1,000 pages of material that constitutes,
next to the work of Vygotsky himself, the theoretical
foundations of our work. Profits go to the Marxists Internet
Archive to keep the classics of Marxism available to all for
free.

I you don't have these classics, I recommend you take
advantage of the offer of $20 per book if you buy the set.

thank you all
Andy
