The History and Theory of the Zagorsk Experiment

Abstract

This paper is the second of a series of articles dealing with the history and theory of the Zagorsk experiment. The first article was published in No. 3 for 2013. A number of philosophers and psychologists have realized the importance of rearing and educating deaf-blind children in the Soviet Union as they believe it reveals the secret of the origin of the human personality.. This paper examines the question of inconsistency in the facts with the Marxist philosophical-psychological interpretations of the education of deaf-blind children and deals with the question of whether the experiment was falsified.
