Sub'ekt i kul'tura v istorii rossiyskoy psikhologii XX veka

The book "Subject and Culture in the History of Russian Psychology in the 20th Century" offers a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between subject and culture in Russian psychology during the 20th century. It reconstructs the logical developments and addresses the necessity of introducing the concept of "culture" as an independent category into the realm of psychological terminology. The author, Larisa Bayanova, highlights the emergence and evolution of cultural-historical concepts and their influence on Russian psychology. Notably, the scientific novelty of this work lies in its presentation of previously unknown materials from the archives of the Russian State Archive for Literature and Art, as well as the Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. These materials are related to the creative legacy of significant psychologists such as L.S. Vygotsky and M.M. Rubinshtein. The book is aimed at psychologists, cultural scientists, and professionals interested in the history of humanistic thought.
