Full title :Conceptual development : Piaget's legacy / edited by Ellin Kofsky Scholnick [and others].

Summary

The way in which the editors of this volume have chosen to probate Piaget's legacy is by examining how [they], as its current beneficiaries, have undertaken to spend the inheritance bequeathed to [them]. They have done this by focusing attention upon contemporary thoughts about the course of conceptual development - an obvious centerpiece of Piaget's own life's work - through an exploration of its nature, its foundations, and the sources of its novelties. They have pursued this course ... in the outline of [this book] by beginning each of its sections with an overview of Piaget's own position ... What becomes evident from a close reading of these ... chapters is the degree to which Piaget's ideas have served to scaffold contemporary thinking about every aspect of conceptual development.-Foreword.
