More quotes by Jean Piaget
Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.
Jean Piaget
It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.
Jean Piaget
This means that no single logic is strong enough to support the total construction of human knowledge.
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
The most developed science remains a continual becoming
Jean Piaget
Moral autonomy appears when the mind regards as necessary an ideal that is independent of all external pressures.
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 could not think without writing.
Jean Piaget
Everytime we teach a child something, we prevent him from inventing it himself.
Jean Piaget

We learn more when we are compelled to invent.
Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget
During the earliest stages the child perceives things like a solipsist who is unaware of himself as subject and is familiar only with his own actions.
Jean Piaget
Accommodation of mental structures to reality implies the existence of assimilatory schemata apart from which any structure would be impossible.
Jean Piaget
The current state of knowledge is a moment in history, changing just as rapidly as the state of knowledge in the past has ever changed and, in many instances, more rapidly.
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
Only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual.
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
