Geneva, Switzerland . The dilapidated and somewhat weather-beaten house and home of the Swiss Psychologist and Sociologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980). The house, which appears in need of upkeep, is near the village of Vessy, Geneva and sits near the foot of the Saleve mountain. Piaget lived in the house with his wife and children until his death in 1980 after a teaching career mostly based in the Swiss city. It remains in its original condition and appears almost untouched since the intellectual’s death. Born in Neuchatel Piaget became director of studies at the Rousseau Institute in Geneva in 1921 and married Valentine Chetenay in 1923 and had 3 children which he studied in development. His researches in developmental psychology and genetic epistemology had a main goal: how does knowledge grow? His answer is that the growth of knowledge is a progressive construction of logically embedded structures superseding one another by a process of inclusion of lower less powerful logical means into higher and more powerful ones up to adulthood. Therefore, children's logic and modes of thinking, he concluded, are initially entirely different from those of adults. 7 March 2020. Ref: LMK11-MB7001-190320 Brophy/Landmark Media.
