The category of activity is the essence of how
Vygotsky/Luria/Cole/Engstrom/etc. have solved the dilemma in psychology
since the 'crisis' was introduced by LSV in the 1920's. The reintroduction
of Hegel's phenomenology of spirit is indeed brilliant. However, I must
insist if you are to look forward in methodology you must include the
ideographic/nomothetical array for addressing the quagmire associated with
the 'subject' of activity. Psychology is not only culture, society, labor,
economics and politics; it is development, emotions, habilitation,
rehabilitation, habituation, memory, functional and academic skills,
interpersonal and intrapersonal relations, etc. There are other avenues
for studying the ideographic/nomothetical array besides Valsiner (Alfred
Adler comes to mind), please reconsider the importance.
