ALVAREZ ESPINOZA, Alejandro  y  BALMACEDA, Christian Sebastián. Vygotski’s dialectic concept of internalization: approaches to an debate. Psicol. Conoc. Soc. [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.1, pp.4-29.  Epub 01-Jun-2020. ISSN 1688-7026.  https://doi.org/10.26864/pcs.v8.n1.2.

The article presents some central aspects of the contemporary debate on the L.S. Vygotski’s notion of internalization, attempting a coherent reading with the theoretical and epistemological premises of the historical-cultural tradition. It is argued that at the heart of the critique of the notion of internalization - based on its dualism - underlies equally dualistic assumptions, which determine interpretations that are far from the genuinely vygotskian notion of internalization, rooted in the dialectical philosophy. It is proposed that it is necessary to recognize this philosophical-epistemological dimension to arrive at a notion of internalization that allows both to overcome the dualism, and to become a useful tool for the treatment of several problems in psychology.

Palabras clave : Internalization; Dialectics; Historical-cultural theory; Epistemology.
