Over hoe de
Russen Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky (1896 - 1934) en Evald Vasilyevitch Ilyenkov
(1924 - 1979) de filosofie van Benedictus de Spinoza gebruikten in hun werk
wordt veel gepubliceerd. Ik heb over hen diverse blogs (type hun namen in het
zoekvenster in om bij die blogs te komen). Een recente tweet
van Pino Berker, via een retweet door ‘Ilyenkov et alia,’
dat ik regelmatig bekijk, maakt dat ik nog de volgende studies kan vermelden:
• Gisele Toassa, “Creating a materialstic psychology - sources
and influence of Spinoza in Vygotsky's works,” in: International Journal of liberal Arts and Social Science, Vol 2.
No. 5. June 2014, pp. 83-94 - PDF
Abstract: This study focuses on the sources
and influence of Spinoza in some Vygotsky’s works, with regard to the creation
of a materialist psychology based on Marxism. Connecting psychology to other
fields of knowledge, it discusses references to Spinoza done by Vygotsky in the
context of the latter’s argumentative style. I argue that his attitude toward
Spinoza aimed at a critical appropriation. Furthermore, the article outlines
the influence of Engels, Plekhanov and Deborin on Vygotskian thought and discusses
their interpretations of Spinoza’s work as materialistic and deterministic.
Finally, the paper assumes the resemblance of Vygotsky with respect to the
Plekhanovist trend, yet fed by a revolutionary zeitgeist which pushed him
towards a critique of dualist psychologies, rejecting mechanicist materialism
and standing outbya Spinozist presence to shape a new natural psychological
science of emotions.

Abstract: E.V. Il’enkov is regarded as
perhaps the most ‘‘Spinozist’’ of Soviet philosophers. He used Spinoza’s ideas
extensively, especially indeveloping his concept of the ideal and in his
attempts to give a more precise philosophical formulation to the ‘‘activity
approach’’ of the cultural-historical school of Soviet psychology. A more
detailed analysis reveals, however, that Il’enkov’s reception of Spinoza was
highly selective, and that there are substantial diļ¬erences between them.
