A critical review of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory, the psychology originating from Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934). Tracing its roots in Goethe, Hegel and Marx, the author builds a concept of activity transcending the division between individual and social domains in human sciences.

Hegel for Social Movements by Andy Blunden is an introduction to the reading of Hegel intended for those already active in social movements. It introduces Hegel's ideas in a way which will be useful for those fighting for social change, and while some familiarity with philosophy would be an advantage for the reader, the main pre-requisite is a commitment to the practical pursuit of ideal aims. The book covers the whole sweep of Hegel's writing, but focuses particularly on the Logic and Hegel's social theory - the Philosophy of Right. Blunden brings to his exposition an original interpretation of Hegel's Logic as the logic of social change, utilizing his expertise in Vygotsky's cultural psychology and Soviet Activity Theory.

The Origins of Collective Decision Making, identifies three paradigms of collective decision making - Counsel, Majority and Consensus, and discovers their origins in traditional, medieval and modern times, and traces their evolution over centuries up to the current juncture.

This book offers an overview of theories of the Concept, drawing on the philosopher Hegel and the Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky. Concepts are shown to be both units of the mind and units of a cultural formation.

Hegel's philosophical system rested on an appropriation of the concept which lay at the heart of Goethe's scientific work, the Urphänomen (archetypal phenomenon). In a sense, the Urphänomen is the Urphänomen of Hegel's philosophy: Hegel transformed and expanded this idea in his Logic, in which the place of the Urphänomen is taken by a Concept rather than a phenomenon. Marx in turn took this idea as the foundation for Capital, with the practice of commodity exchange being the Urphänomen of bourgeois society; but changed the relationship between conceptual and practical development. Each link in this chain turns the Urphänomen \"inside out\" in the act of appropriating it.

Collaborative Projects - An Interdisciplinary Study demonstrates that the concept of 'project' may unify research across a range of human sciences, and presents eleven diverse research projects and a philosophical introduction to prove it.
