Exploring the historical context of Alexander Luria's work, the book delves into his 'romantic' approach to scientific writing through case histories. Luria emphasized that human consciousness is shaped by cultural and historical experiences, viewing psychology as a 'science of social history.' His concepts of subjectivity, cognition, and mental health are examined in relation to the influences he had on and received from peers across the iron curtain, highlighting the interconnectedness of psychological thought during his time.
