To the Problem of Metaunderstanding of Psychic Reality according to Cultural-historical Psychological Point of View

Abstract

Logical basis of meta-understanding of psychic reality is considered according to cultural_historical psychological point of view. Intended by L.S. Vygotsky program of new «general psychology» is shown to presume dialectical logic usage (contrary to modern projects of «integrative psychology» based on «and — and» approach). A.N. Leontiev’s school creatively using dialectical logic came to consider the activity as psychic’s substance, and psychic as «functional organ» of activity accordingly. Practical consequence of such a meta-understanding of psychic reality is proposed to be possible dialectical resolution of the problem of the relation of two psychotechnical paradigms — mayeutic and manipulative.
