Vygotsky, like Ilyenkov, made wide contributions in the development of construct

use them without realizing that by doing so we distort beyond recognition the w

Ditto Dewey and a lot of the other people discussed on this list.

doesn't seem much like the intellectual enterprise you refer to as
social psychology which would fit perfectly into our Communication Department.
