More quotes by Jean Piaget
Only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual.
Jean Piaget
Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.
Jean Piaget
Reflective abstraction, however, is based not on individual actions but on coordinated actions.
Jean Piaget
Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do.
Jean Piaget
This means that no single logic is strong enough to support the total construction of human knowledge.
Jean Piaget
What we see changes what we know. What we know changes what we see.
Jean Piaget
The more the schemata are differentiated, the smaller the gap between the new and the familiar becomes, so that novelty, instead of constituting an annoyance avoided by the subject, becomes a problem and invites searching.
Jean Piaget
Accommodation of mental structures to reality implies the existence of assimilatory schemata apart from which any structure would be impossible.
Jean Piaget
To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active.
Jean Piaget
Punishment renders autonomy of conscience impossible.
Jean Piaget
When you teach a child something you take away forever his chance of discovering it for himself.
Jean Piaget
I am convinced that there is no sort of boundary between the living and the mental or between the biological and the psychological. From the moment an organism takes account of a previous experience and adapts to a new situation, that very much resembles psychology.
Jean Piaget
Each time one prematurely teaches a child something he could have discovered himself, that child is kept from inventing it and consequently from understanding it completely.
Jean Piaget
The self thus becomes aware of itself, at least in its practical action, and discovers itself as a cause among other causes and as an object subject to the same laws as other objects.
Jean Piaget
During the earliest stages of thought, accommodation remains on the surface of physical as well as social experience.
Jean Piaget
Play is the work of childhood.
Jean Piaget
The most developed science remains a continual becoming
Jean Piaget
If mutual respect does derive from unilateral respect, it does so by opposition.
Jean Piaget
Chance... in the accommodation peculiar to sensorimotor intelligence, plays the same role as in scientific discovery. It is only useful to the genius and its revelations remain meaningless to the unskilled.
Jean Piaget
As you know, Bergson pointed out that there is no such thing as disorder but rather two sorts of order, geometric and living.
