Logic and mathematics are not...

Logic and mathematics are nothing but specialised linguistic structures.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

The child who defines a lie a...

The child who defines a lie as being a "naughty word" knows perfectly well that lying consists in not speaking the truth. He is not, therefore, mistaking one thing for another, he is simply identifying them one with another by what seems to us a quaint extension of the word "lie".

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

The child often sees only wha...

The child often sees only what he already knows. He projects the whole of his verbal thought into things. He sees mountains as built by men, rivers as dug out with spades, the sun and moon as following us on our walks.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

I engage my subjects in conve...

I engage my subjects in conversation, patterned after psychiatric questioning, with the aim of discovering something about the reasoning underlying their right but especially their wrong answers.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

Logical activity is not the w...

Logical activity is not the whole of intelligence. One can be intelligent without being particularly logical.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

On the one hand, there are in...

On the one hand, there are individual actions such as throwing, pushing, touching, rubbing. It is these individual actions that give rise most of the time to abstraction from objects.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

With regard to moral rules, t...

With regard to moral rules, the child submits more or less completely in intention to the rules laid down for him, but these, remaining, as it were, external to the subject's conscience, do not really transform his conduct.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

The goal of education is not ...

The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

Before playing with his equal...

Before playing with his equals, the child is influenced by his parents. He is subjected from his cradle to a multiplicity of regulations, and even before language he becomes conscious of certain obligations.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

To reason logically is so to ...

To reason logically is so to link one's propositions that each should contain the reason for the one succeeding it, and should itself be demonstrated by the one preceding it. Or at any rate, whatever the order adopted in the construction of one's own exposition, it is to demonstrate judgments by each other.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

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 63 quotes

All morality consists in a sy...

All morality consists in a system of rules, and the essence of all morality is to be sought for in the respect which the individual acquires for these rules.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

Logical positivists have neve...

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 63 quotes

The main functions of intelli...

The main functions of intelligence, that of inventing solutions and that of verifying them, do not necessarily involve one another. The first partakes of imagination; the second alone is properly logical.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

The child of three or four is...

The child of three or four is saturated with adult rules. His universe is dominated by the idea that things are as they ought to be, that everyone's actions conform to laws that are both physical and moral - in a word, that there is a Universal Order.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

From the moral as from the in...

From the moral as from the intellectual point of view, the child is born neither good nor bad but master of his destiny.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

In other words, knowledge of ...

In other words, knowledge of the external world begins with an immediate utilisation of things, whereas knowledge of self is stopped by this purely practical and utilitarian contact.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

Every acquisition of accommodation becomes material for assimilation, but assimilation always resists new accommodations.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

Logical reasoning is an argum...

Logical reasoning is an argument which we have with ourselves and which reproduces internally the features of a real argument.

Jean Piaget 63 quotes

Our problem, from the point o...

Our problem, from the point of view of psychology and from the point of view of genetic epistemology, is to explain how the transition is made from a lower level of knowledge to a level that is judged to be higher.
