4.0 out of 5 stars Rounding Out The Picture Of Bruner's Work, July 9, 2000
By 
Mark Valentine (Port Angeles, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Actual Minds, Possible Worlds (Jerusalem-Harvard Lectures) (Paperback)
Reading Bruner is as easy as putting on a wet suit just out of the drier. Many times, he obfuscates his language such that it is a struggle to capture the meaning. And he is an addicted name-dropper.

But he is still worth reading, and this collection adds to the portrait of his thinking, so in that sense, I warmly recommend it. I particularly enjoyed his chapter on Vygotsky's influence on psychology and education--enough so that I will begin to go down that road and pursue some of his books.

What I like most of Bruner's work is his regard for the cultural influences working in tandem with the individual's cognitive self--he respects both aspects.

Whoever heard of putting a wetsuit in a drier?
