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
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
Play is the work of childhood.
Jean Piaget
If mutual respect does derive from unilateral respect, it does so by opposition.
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
Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations that correspond, more or less adequately, to reality.
