The aim of this paper is to show how Vygotsky assumed epistemic development and moral development to be unified in the process of concept development. Thoughts on epistemic development and moral development as a unified process, has been pointed out to be present in Vygotsky's theory of play. In this paper, the author attempts to point out that Vygotsky assumed epistemic development and moral development to be unified in the process of concept development as well.Vygotsky presumed that recognition of necessity was the key to acquire freedom and thus, brings about moral development. According toVygotsky, development of higher forms of conceptual thinking opens up the way to the recognition of the necessity of external reality, the internal process of oneself, and others.
