More quotes by Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget
Logical positivists have never taken psychology into account in their epistemology, but they affirm that logical beings and mathematical beings are nothing but linguistic structures.
Jean Piaget
Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations that correspond, more or less adequately, to reality.
Jean Piaget
Reflective abstraction, however, is based not on individual actions but on coordinated actions.
Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget
If mutual respect does derive from unilateral respect, it does so by opposition.
Jean Piaget
Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do.

Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget
What we see changes what we know. What we know changes what we see.
Jean Piaget
Punishment renders autonomy of conscience impossible.
Jean Piaget
Everytime we teach a child something, we prevent him from inventing it himself.
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.
Jean Piaget
Accommodation of mental structures to reality implies the existence of assimilatory schemata apart from which any structure would be impossible.
Jean Piaget
Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.
Jean Piaget
We learn more when we are compelled to invent.
Jean Piaget
Moral autonomy appears when the mind regards as necessary an ideal that is independent of all external pressures.
Jean Piaget
Are we forming children who are only capable of learning what is already known? Or should we try to develop creative and innovative minds, capable of discovery from the preschool age on, throughout life?
Jean Piaget
Teaching means creating situations where structures can be discovered.
