La genèse des structures logiques élémentaires

With B. Inhelder

In collaboration with A. Etienne, Y. Feller, H. Fischer, F. Frank, J. Maroun, B. Matalon, F. Matthieu, E. McNear, A. Morf, H. Niedorf, G. Noelting, M.-C. Reymond, B. Reymond-Rivier, W. Sears, E. Siotis, S. Taponier, V. Bang and M.-F. Zanetta.

The book returns to certain open questions at the beginning of the structuralist period, related to the formation of classes, the processes of inclusion, the operations of logical intersection or multiplication, and of serializations. A material composed of geometric forms, collections and concrete objects is used to create simple and effective experimental devices that show the dependence of logical structures on groupings identified by Piaget.

Apprentissage et connaissance

With P. Gréco

This seventh volume of the Studies in Genetic Epistemology addresses the problem of compatibilities and incompatibilities between theories of learning and Piaget’s constructivist theory of knowledge. This problem will be discussed at the Center for Epistemology for some years.
