Constructive Evolution: Origins and Development of Piaget's Thought

This book represents an attempt to understand the evolution of Jean Piaget's basic ideas in the context of his own intellectual development. Piaget sought to elucidate human knowledge by studying its origins and development. In this book, Michael Chapman applies the same method to Piaget's own thinking. Dr Chapman shows that some of the Swiss psychologist's essential ideas originated in adolescent philosophical speculations about the relation between science and value.Michael Chapman is the author of 'Constructive Evolution: Origins and Development of Piaget's Thought', published 1988 under ISBN 9780521331630 and ISBN 0521331633.
