Re: [xmca] LSV, Marx, and the key to psychology as a whole

[Andy Blunden <ablunden@mira.net>]

My favourite topic, Jenna.

The idea of a "cell" comes from Johann Gottfried Herder via 
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to Hegel to Marx and thus to 
Vygotsky.

For Herder = "Schwerpunkt"
For Goethe = "Urphaenomen"
For Hegel  = "Begriff" or Concept
For Marx   = "cell"
For Vygotsky= "unit of analysis"

I have written a book on this topic available from

Or you can get most of this on the cheap from my home page:
