- More about Concept Formation in the Wild
Concept formation is essential for understanding and influencing the world, but it has been neglected in the wild. This book develops a dialectical theory of collective formation of novel concepts in everyday activities, drawing on cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). It provides detailed real-life examples of germ-cell concepts and their influence on development in different activities, making it essential reading for researchers, advanced students, and practitioners across human and social sciences.

Concept formation is a crucial aspect of learning and development, but it has often been overlooked in the wild. This book presents a dialectical theory of collective formation of novel concepts in the wild, in everyday activities, based on cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). Concepts are seen as contested and future-oriented means for guiding activities and their transformations, and detailed real-life examples of germ-cell concepts show how they can radically influence the course of development in different activities. This book is essential reading for researchers, advanced students, and practitioners across human and social sciences, and is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
