Marxist Psychology Collection
The mistake of introspective psychology was not in its desire to establish self-awareness as an object of psychological investigation, but in how to interpret self-awareness and the human psyche. The mistake of behaviorism was not that its goal was to explore people in their activity, but first of all, it was in the way of interpreting such activity. And the confusion of the psychology of the soul is not to understand the essence of consciousness through its relationship with culture, with ideology, but in how to interpret this relationship… The only way is to fundamentally revise the interpretation of both concepts of consciousness and human activity, which are inseparable. It is linked with a new interpretation of their interrelationships. Only the revision of such a foundation can lead to the correct revelation of the object of psychology.
