Críticas:

'You do not need to agree with all Miller's claims and criticisms in order to appreciate his deep understanding of Vygotsky's original texts. Vygotsky in Perspective is required reading for everyone interested in Vygotsky's theory of consciousness.' Alex Kozulin, International Institute for the Enhancement of Learning Potential

'A deeply argumentative tour-de-force through our contemporary interpretations of Vygotsky's ideas. Miller's is a powerful contrarian voice in the efforts to clarify how the human mind operates through the social world. Hopefully the book will trigger new interest among young scholars to solve complex theoretical issues in the social sciences that both Vygotsky and Miller have attempted to accomplish.' Jaan Valsiner, Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science

'Miller's critique is polemic but fair, sharp and entertaining. His message is that we should go back to a painstaking analysis of Vygotsky's writings and not just use his name to make our own ideas more fashionable. His detailed critique of several of the most vocal interpreters of Vygotsky's ideas will hopefully set the stage for a much-needed debate.' René van der Veer, Leiden University

'... there is no denying the perspicacious powers evident throughout Miller's tour de force ...' Ronald A. Goodrich, Philosophical Psychology
