"The Way to Freedom"

Abstract

This article precedes publication of Lev Vygotsky's October 1932 notebook from the family archive of Gita Vygodskaya (the scholar's daughter). These notes are a unique historical document: they mark a major theoretical shift in Vygotsky's research program owing to the birth of the idea of a semantic structure of consciousness. The notes include the plan of a book on the problems of consciousness, which was supposed to be a large-scale answer to the methodological crisis in European psychology. The notes are accompanied by Ekaterina Zavershneva's commentary and an extensive foreword, which provide a detailed analysis of the last period of Vygotsky's biography as a scholar.
