THE GENESIS OF CULTURAL-HISTORICAL THEORY IN VYGOTSKY’S MANUSCRIPTS OF 1926

ABSTRACT

The present article aims to analyze a restricted set of notes made by Vygotsky, between 1925 and 1926. The study of these manuscripts was based on his later productions, which gave rise to the Vygotskian project for a scientific psychology. The method used was theoretical study. We found that these notes express the problems faced by the author in defining the object and methods of psychology. The manuscripts indicate the problems encountered by Vygotsky in his search for objective methods for studying consciousness. Therefore, we conclude that his notes are extremely important for understanding the process of building his historical-cultural theory of human development.
