Play, Dreams And Imitation In Childhood


Book Description

First published in 1999.

Book Description




The Moral Judgment Of The Child


Book Description

First Published in 1999. Readers will find in this book no direct analysis of child morality as it is practised in home and school life or in children's societies. It is the moral judgment that we propose to investigate, not moral behaviour or sentiments. With this aim in view, a large number of children from the Geneva and Neuchatel schools were questioned and held conversations with them, similar to those we had had before on their conception of the world and of causality. The present volume contains the results of these conversations.

Piaget, Philosophy, and the Human Sciences


Book Description

Leading scholars place Piaget's theory of the development and nature of knowledge in the context of twentieth-century European thought, and compare his views with those of Freud, Lacan, Heidegger, Foucault, and writers of the Frankfurt school. Piaget, Philosophy, and the Human Sciences surveys Piaget's work from a number of angles. General discussions of the main conceptual oppositions of this theory are balanced with more specific debates. Links between Piagetian and Freudian theory are explored, as are links between Piaget's theory of self-knowledge, Foucault's account of discursive knowledge practices, and Lacan's views on the symbolic power of language.
