Jean Piaget and Neuchâtel: The Learner and the Scholar

Taking a socio-historical and cultural perspective, this book looks at Jean Piagets own growth from childhood to scientific life. The international and multidisciplinary contributors examine the milieu in which Piaget was born and educated, and search for traces of the experiences, social relationships, commitments and debates that peppered his childhood and adolescence, and informed his future academic career.
