Abstract

This article asks what kind of science psychology should be and what new readings of Vygotsky can contribute. The focus is on three major approaches to Vygotskys acmeist psychology: the objective-analytical method, the method of double stimulation, and the semic method. Each is discussed along with their interrelatedness. These possibilities lie in re-orienting psychology as a science that brings single cases and complex semiotic analyses to the fore and rethinks psychologys relation towards the arts, especially literature.
