Piaget and Knowledge

From book's back cover" "Piaget and Knowledge is the only book to systematically elucidate fundamental concepts in Piaget's work in light of his overall theory. Piaget, Furth points out, has removed knowledge and intellince from the purely philosophical sphere and placed them in the realm of biology as functions of organic development. It is Furth's insistence on the biological and epistemlogical bases of the theory of development (an insistence confirmed by Piaget himself) that unifies and interrelates the various technical concepts examined in each chapter. With the addition of a new and substantial chapter on equilibraton, the central concept in Piaget's more recent work, this second edition of Piaget and Knowledge provides the reader with an introduction to all the basic concepts of Piaget's theory as it stands today [circa 1981]."
