For an argument that Dewey met Vygotsky when he was in Moscow, see: Richard
S. Prawat, "Dewey meets the 'Mozart of psychology' in Moscow: The untold
story", AERJ, 2000, 37(3) 663-696.
Jim Wertsch, however, has told me he personally thinks it unlikely that
Dewey and Vygotsky met, and that in any case the evidence is quite thin.
