Reihe: Theory and History in the Human and Social Sciences

This book is aimed at appreciating and further developing the work of Pina Boggi Cavallo. She was a scholar that fully embodied the spirit of the first cognitive revolution in psychology, whose ideal was to consider human being in its totality. The focus of scientific investigation in her work, were the processes of thought, as connected to the affective and ethical dimensions, the social construction of the developing Self within the real context of its making.

The book is organized in three sections:

- Sowing: the selected works of Pina Boggi Cavallo translated in English;

- Fertilizing: invited commentaries which develop the ideas of Pina Boggi Cavallo in the current and future scientific landscape;

- Cultivating: invited chapters by international scholars, including some who collaborated with her.
