Question:

1. Drawing on the extracts reproduced in Gruber and Vonèche (1977) from Piaget’s novel Recherche, his other early writings about the relation between science and moral issues, and including ‘Biology and War’, explore the relations (and tensions)

between science and social emancipation, through such questions as:

• What role does reason play in Piaget’s view of society?

• What incompatibilities does Piaget struggle with in his analysis of the relations between science and emotions? Between science and humanism? And between science and religion?

• What model of society does Piaget elaborate, and what are its consequences?

How adequate is a model that takes as its unit separate individuals? What scope is there for the analysis of structural power relations and differences? How does this model relate to models of market forces and relations?

• Determine and evaluate when the various translations and selections of writing took place.

• Next, use the same questions to interrogate one of the early articles Piaget published in English for a popular audience elaborating his ideas, ‘The child and modern physics’, Scientific American, 197: 46–51.
