Vygotsky en #Spinoza – cf. vooral artikel van Andrey Maidansky

Sinds de twee blogs die ik in 2010 had over hoe Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky (1896 - 1934) probeerde Spinoza toe te passen [10-01-2010 [1] en 10-01-2010 [2], zijn er – met name dit jaar - diverse studies verschenen, waarin juist Vygotsky’s omgaan met Spinoza nader besproken wordt.

Merkwaardig is dan weer wel dat in het volgende recent verschenen boek Spinoza’s naam in het geheel niet voorkomt:

Nikolay Veraksa & Sonja Sheridan (eds.), Vygotsky’s Theory in Early Childhood Education and Research. Russian and Western Values. Routledge, 2018 - 220 pages – books.google

Het dit jaar bij Springer verschenen

Ekaterina Zavershneva & René van der Veer (eds.), Vygotsky’s Notebooks: A Selection. Springer, 2018 – books.google kent een Chapter 13 “Spinoza and the Problem of Higher Emotions.” Pp. 209-236 - PDF met Preface, Contents & Introduction op academia.edu

Interessant is ook hun dit jaar verschenen artikel

Ekaterina Zavershneva & René van der Veer, "Not by bread alone. Lev Vygotsky’s Jewish writings." In: History of the Human Sciences, Vol 31, Issue 1 [april], 2018 [cf. en academia.edu], waarin over Spinoza alleen de passage: “Also, the tremendous influence on his worldview of the Jewish philosopher Spinoza should be mentioned…”

Het tijdschrift Mind, Culture, and Activity, komt kennelijk met een special; daarin

• Alfredo Jornet & Mike Cole, “Introduction to symposium on Vygotsky and Spinoza” [Cf.]

 

Daarin verder:

• Andy Blunden, “Spinoza in the history of cultural psychology and activity theory.” In: Mind Culture and Activity · October 2018 [cf. ]

Abstract: "This review of the place of Spinoza in the history of cultural-historical activity theory begins with a synopsis of Ilyenkov’s influential essay “Spinoza—Thought as an Attribute of Substance” and adds further points. I go on to look at the historical context of Spinoza’s work, the mixed character of his legacy, and the need to see Spinoza as one moment in an entire historical development."

• Andrey Maidansky, “Spinoza in cultural-historical psychology.” In: Mind, Culture, and Activity; online  November 2018 [cf. en academia.edu]

Abstract: The article retraces the fate of Spinoza’s ideas in cultural-historical psychology, from the late works of Lev Vygotsky to Evald Ilyenkov. Following Spinoza, Vygotsky considers affect to be the alpha and omega of all psychic development. The central problem both of Ethics and of Vygotsky’s last manuscripts is the way to freedom by means of the rational mastering of affects. Vygotsky died before he could carry out his project of a “new psychology” based on Spinoza’s idea of man. His students were not able to continue his work.

Kelvin McQueen, "Chasing Vygotsky’s Dogs: Retrieving Lev Vygotsky’s Philosophy for a Workers’ Paradise", in: Studies in Philosophy and Education, January 2010 [cf. - PDF geüpload naar BookSC]]
Abstract: In an article published in 1930, Lev Vygotsky refers explicitly to the seventeenth century Dutch philosopher Benedictus de Spinoza. From a close reading of Vygotsky’s remarkable piece, ‘The socialist transformation of man,’ the extraordinary parallels in the lives and philosophies of Vygotsky and Spinoza are revealed. Then the strengths and weaknesses are assessed of the analytical approach Vygotsky may have inherited from Spinoza. It is suggested that there are analytical ramifications arising from Vygotsky’s possible reliance on Spinoza’s nuanced but essentially dualistic philosophy. The conclusion is that the key limitation of this methodology is the elision of radical doubting with radical unknowability.
