(How come, for instance, out of all the infinitely possible ways of solving a difficult symbolic logic problem.) Exactly! And this generalises to all problems in the sciences, arts, and common experience too with the added twist that the "degrees of freedom" are greater in the latter pair than in the first - though even there, as you have just brought out, these "degrees" are open. I think it was in a conversation with Gruber, who had expressed an interest in studying Creativity, that Piaget advised him not to do so because "tout y touche" - everything there is connected. ps: there is this paper "Child psychology and the teaching of history" Piaget, J. (1933). Psychologie de l'enfant et enseignment de l'histoire. Reprinted in J. Piaget (1998). De la Pedagogie. Paris: Odile Jacob |
