Piaget and Knowledge
註釋“Here is an overall, unified approach to Piaget’s psychological theory of intelligence that includes his most recent research and concepts. No other book covers the main sources from which Piaget’s work stems or offers such complete understanding. The concise summation provides a general introduction at a time when the growing popularity of Piaget’s theories is not always proportionate with the understanding of some of his chief theoretical notions. His theory of biological intelligence, for example, is not referred to in other books in English dealing with theoretical aspects of learning or intelligence. This book examines and interprets all of Piaget and includes reading material, mostly from Piaget’s writings, available in English for the first time. Diagrams of basic concepts are used by way of illustrations. Besides introductory and summary sections, the text focuses on the five major themes of operative, symbolic, and figurative knowing, biology, and equilibration. It is a challenging book which both informs and opens up new vistas. It encourages the reader to fit familiar notions about Piaget into an overall understanding of Piaget’s system. A leading interpreter whose qualifications include a year at Piaget’s International Center of Genetic Epistemology in Geneva, Dr. Furth explains Piaget’s key concepts and theoretical notions of psychological intelligence. His analysis interprets Piaget’s theory of intelligence and clarifies how superior levels of intelligence and scientific thinking evolve from elementary forms of behavior.”-Publisher.
