Pour un relativisme interactionniste conséquent : de Piaget à Darwin et retour
Year: 1993
Type: article
Abstract: Taking lnteractionist Relativism Seriously, from Piaget to Darwin and back As the problematic of morphogenesis is a growing point in the field of cognitive sciences, it seems pertinent to focus once again on the genetic conceptions of Piaget, which have been progressively neglected since the booming of the information processing paradigm. This is the main direction of my argumentation which, moreover, will be an attempt to give a better coherence to the hard core of Piaget's theory. I will consider this theory in the light of the original darwinian conceptions. It will become apparent that the empirical difficulties regarding the question of the equilibration of cognitive structures might have been avoided, if Piaget had remained a faithful relativist interactionist. Because of his prejudice towards the autonomy of the elaboration process of the intellectual structures, Piaget has not been able to fully assimilate the darwinian, selectionist and, most of all, non-problematic conception of his "maître à penser", Baldwin.
