The rich intellectual biography of Jean Piaget is based on the work of many researchers, initiated more than half a century ago. From a brilliant teenage prodigy to a career that made him “the most famous citizen of Geneva in the world” (La Suisse, 17/09/1980), superlatives have been used to describe this ” most famous and influential Swiss scientist abroad” (L’Illustré, 07/08/1952). Here are a few glimpses of his biography.
