Summary: Vygotsky explicitly aimed at constructing a general-unifying theory of psychology. Therefore, it can be assumed that his writings on different topics complement one another. In some papers he proposed general principles that apply to all theoretical ideas at more specific levels of analysis. Vygotsky’s theoretical statements can be coherently interpreted only in the context of the general principles he formulated. In this presentation the general principles of Vygotsky’s approach are described and applied to explanation of the essence of human creativity.
