Více o knize

The book delves into Alexander Luria's contributions to psychology and neurology, highlighting his belief that human consciousness is shaped by cultural and historical experiences. It examines his unique 'romantic' style of scientific writing through case histories and positions his work within the broader historical context. Luria’s perspective on psychology as a 'science of social history' reflects his innovative ideas on subjectivity, cognition, and mental health, while also exploring the intellectual exchanges between him and contemporaries across the Iron Curtain.
