Description

The purpose of this paper is examining the validity of E. Kamiya's following proposal. Analyzing the contents of Vygotsky's monograph "Theory of emotions: historical-psychological study" written from 1931 to 1933, Kamiya has proposed the new paradigm of an understanding of Vygotsky's psychological, developmental theory. According to Kamiya, Vygotsky was conceiving a new, larger human psychology based on Spinoza's identity theory and therefore, it is not appropriate to understand Vygotsky's whole psychological theory as a so-called "cultural-historical theory of development." As a result of examining the original contents of Vygotsky's psychological theory anew, we were able to show that Vygotsky's cultural-historical theory of development could include the identity theory as "body=sign semantics" in its inside and that Vygotsky's whole psychological theory could be understood as a consistent cultural-historical theory of development.
