While Stanislavsky's name has dominated debates about acting for a century, his ideas have been viewed through pervasive veils of assumptions. In the West, actors routinely identify his System with Strasberg's Method and psychological realism. In Russia, Soviet Marxism limited Stanislavsky to the physical world and socialist realism. While illuminating some of the System's aspects (notably, realistic styles, Western notions of self, and logic), these assumptions have blurred others (drawn from Yoga, symbolism, and formalist attitudes towards texts).
