This book is a tour de force that starts from the observable act of speaking and finds its winding road to the mysteries of inner speech. The reader of this small volume can trace on almost every page the tension between the ease of observing external speaking and the effort to penetrate its internal counterpart. The latter effort is indeed very substantial—and the readers of this volume can observe as the well-meaning authors perform interesting intellectual dances at the doorstep of the cabinet of curiosities of the inner speech—fearing to enter. We see the reason for this fear in the very tentative return of psychology’s methodology to the recognition of introspection as the central method (Bühler, 1951, Valsiner, 2017).

Abstract
This book is a tour de force that starts from the observable act of speaking and finds its winding road to the mysteries of inner speech. The reader of this small volume can trace on almost every page the tension between the ease of observing external speaking and the effort to penetrate its internal counterpart. The latter effort is indeed very substantial—and the readers of this volume can observe as the well-meaning authors perform interesting intellectual dances at the doorstep of the cabinet of curiosities of the inner speech—fearing to enter. We see the reason for this fear in the very tentative return of psychology’s methodology to the recognition of introspection as the central method (Bühler, 1951, Valsiner, 2017).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
