The history of the development of thinking in the transitional age is itself undergoing a certain transitional stage from the old construction to a new understanding of maturation of the intellect. This understanding arises on the basis of new theoretical views of the psychological nature of speech and thinking, of development, and of the functional and structural interrelation of these processes.
