1. Concepts are processes not entities or structures. Not only
ontigenetically, but also microgenetically and culturally.
2. The "anatomy" of a real concept, as Vygotsky sees it, is the several
paths of development contained in it. Vygotsky studied these paths of
development in order to understand real concepts. A limb is not a
person, but to understand the human body one must grasp its parts, its
anatomy.
