Jean Piaget, Psychologist of Epistemology: A Discussion of Rotman's Jean Piaget: Psychologist of the Real
View through CrossRef
The challenging title of Brian Rotman's book neatly formulates the conclusion the author draws from his investigation of some of Piaget's writings. Piaget, Rotman argues, is a realist. External reality is the constant, everpresent guide that leads Piaget to a progress-oriented, accretionist theory of evolution, cognition, knowledge, and finally, mathematics. Rotman brings out the deficiencies of the progress-oriented approach and applies them in his critique of Piaget.
