'This very important book provides a sustained engagementwith the philosophical underpinnings of Vygotsky's thesis ofsociogenesis. At its heart is a rejection of the separations ofmind and world and of rationality as abstract. The book presents aforceful critique of formalised teaching grounded in philosophicalterms. Derry elaborates the philosophical foundations of theVygotskian enterprise with precision and considerableverve.' --Professor Harry Daniels, Department of Education,University of Oxford 'In this book, Jan Derry explores the roots ofVygotsky's thought in Spinoza and Hegel, and brings hisinsights into dialogue with contemporary philosophers, such asRobert Brandom and John McDowell. The result is a freshinterpretation that affirms Vygotsky's views. Original andprovocative, Vygotsky, Philosophy and Education is essentialreading for all those interested in Vygotsky's legacy and itssignificance for education.' --David Bakhurst, Charlton Professor of Philosophy,Queen's University at Kingston
