Analysis of the theories of Rubinstein, Leontiev and Galperin: a history of contradictions and misunderstandings that opens up new paths of development.

Keywords: Soviet Psychology, Activity Theory, Cultural-Historical Theory, Marxism, Internalization, Pedagogy

Abstract

The present work is inserted within the contemporary literature that tries to differentiate the different moments and contradictions in the works of the theorists of the Cultural-Historial and Activity theories, as well as the contradictions in the works of the different authors in different moments of their work. Specifically, it focuses on the theories of Rubinstein, Leontiev and Galperin to explore how they differed in their philosophical bases, and how this affects their understanding of the object of study of psychology, the process of internalization, and the pedagogical domain. The analysis leads us to understand the complicated relationships and contradictions in the work of these authors, and to propose some new avenues of development cor cultural-historical theories.
