More quotes by Jean Piaget
Everytime we teach a child something, we prevent him from inventing it himself.
Jean Piaget
If mutual respect does derive from unilateral respect, it does so by opposition.
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

Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget
It was while teaching philosophy that I saw how easily one can say ... what one wants to say. ... In fact, I became particularly aware if the dangers of speculation ... It's so much easier than digging out the facts. You sit in your office and build a system. But with my training in biology, I felt this kind of undertaking precarious.
Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget
Teaching means creating situations where structures can be discovered.
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
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
Punishment renders autonomy of conscience impossible.
Jean Piaget
What we see changes what we know. What we know changes what we see.
Jean Piaget
How can we, with our adult minds, know what will be interesting? If you follow the child...you can find out something new.
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
Reflective abstraction, however, is based not on individual actions but on coordinated actions.
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
