This paper presents a comparison of two articles about the consciousness in the Vygotsky's work. The texts Conceito de consciência em Vigotski and A consciência na obra de L. S. Vigotsy: análise do conceito e implicações para a psicologia e a educação, published respectively in 2006 and 2010, emphasize the importance of Vygotsky to the concept of consciousness as the object of a psychology that would overcome its paradigm crisis. When performing a structural comparison between the two texts, by using the reader's criticism proposed by Vygotsky in "Psychology of Art", this study notes the importance of the two works to strengthen the theoretical field inaugurated by Vygotsky. We conclude by proposing a logical re-ordering between the two texts, taking into account the complexity and the internal arrangements of their arguments. It may be a small contribution to Vygotsky's work, widely used in education, but little recognized in the history of Psychology.
