Dichotomies or Binoculars: Reflections on the Papers by Steffe and Thompson and by Lerman.
Kieren, Thomas E.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v31 n2 p228-33 Mar 2000

Argues that instead of taking the dichotomous view, contrasting the Vygotskian and the Piagetian perspectives, the two may be seen as separate "truths" providing different lenses through which to attain a more complete, reciprocal embodied view of mathematics education.
