“…And so in considering his goals in advancing genetic epistemology, we are left to wonder about his motives in choosing to accept the invitation from the Sorbonne to replace Merleau-Ponty-just two months before his conversation with Marshall (viz. October of 1952)-and thus also to spend two days a week in Paris (see Meljac & Diener, 2000;Ratcliff & Burman, 2017). Although that position obviously wasn't made permanent, and indeed he left it soon after the end of the RF's support a decade later, these documents show clearly that this was a critical period.…”

“…: the explanatory level involves underlying structures which inevitably cut across the traditional boundaries between the different disciplines. (Piaget & Inhelder, 1969, p. 148) Interdisciplinarity resulting in greater understanding today, rather than education reform to make greater understanding possible in the future, was therefore the overriding virtue of genetic epistemology (see also Ratcliff & Burman, 2017).…”

“…And indeed, when Piaget collaborated in person, everything went fine; even when in collaboration with Beth he had wrestled with fixing his operational approach to logic, which Quine still-albeit from a distance, and apparently not realizing the degree of Beth's involvement (despite their discussions by mail)-called "irresponsible," "helpless," and "opinionated" (also "incorrigible," quoted in Burman, 2016b, p. 760). But assessing this sort of thing both completely and remotely was nigh impossible: there was too much to read, it was too disorganized, and anyway it seems the interdisciplinarity resulted in blendings too complicated to survey from afar (see Ratcliff & Burman, 2017). Too much that was necessary for a clear understanding, it seems, was left off the page and remained tacit (cf.…”

Jean Piaget (1896–1980) is known for his contributions to developmental psychology and educational theory. His name is associated especially with Stage Theory. That we believe him to have focused solely on cognitive development, however, is not because he did. This is instead the result of the popularization of his writings in the United States during the Cold War. (A period of crisis and subsequent education reform.) The overpowering influence of those interests blinded us to his larger framework, which he called “genetic epistemology,” and of which his stages were just a part. To address the resulting and continuing misunderstandings, this essay presents original historical scholarship—distilling over a thousand pages of archival documents (correspondence, diary entries, budgets, and reports)—to provide an insider’s look at Piaget’s research program from the perspective of the Rockefeller Foundation: genetic epistemology’s primary funding agency in the United States from the mid-1950s through the early-1960s. The result is an examination of how a group of interested Americans came to understand Piaget’s writings in French in the period just prior to their wider popularization in English, as well as of how Piaget presented himself and his ideas during the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. My goal, however, is not to summarize the whole of this misunderstood program. Instead, I aim to provide a source of archivally-grounded perspective that will allow for new insights about the Genevan School that are unrelated to American Cold War interests. In the process, we also derive new means to see how Piaget’s experimental examinations of the development of individual knowledge served to inform his team’s investigations of the evolution of science (and vice versa).

If we consider perceptions as arising from predictive processes, we must consider the manner in which the underlying expectations are formed and how they are applied to the sensory data. We provide examples of cases where expectations give rise to unexpected and unlikely perceptions of the world. These examples may help define bounds for the notion that perceptual hypotheses are direct derivatives of experience and are used to furnish sensible interpretations of sensory data.

“…Une troisième série d'études, déployée par de nombreux auteurs jusqu'aux années 1990, concerne la place de l'épistémologie génétique piagétienne dans la philosophie, la philosophie des sciences et l'épistémologie [Brief 1977], [Gagnon 1977], [Kesselring 1981], [Apostel 1982], [Bickhard 1982], [Fetz 1982], [Vonèche 1985], [Grize 1996], [Perri 1996]. Une quatrième série d'études s'est intéressée à la dimension interdisciplinaire déployée au CIEG [Vonèche 1993], [Darbellay 2011], [Ratcliff & Burman 2017]. Finalement, un dernier ensemble de travaux porte sur l'origine, non pas tant du CIEG que du projet d'épistémologie génétique de Piaget, pour lequel diverses filiations ont été identifiées.…”

International d'Épistémologie Génétique. Ce Centre fait aboutir un projet de jeunesse de Piaget, dont les fondements théoriques sont donnés dans son ouvrage de 1950 en trois volumes, l'Introduction à l'épistémologie génétique. Mais il y a loin de la théorie à la réalisation pratique. Pour cela, pris dans un mouvement allant de Genève vers l'étranger, dès 1952, Piaget voyage dans toute l'Europe tant pour y présenter ses travaux et son projet que pour se lier avec de nombreux savants de toutes disciplines. Lors de ces voyages, il explore de nombreux modèles de centres et de regroupements d'acteurs en philosophie des sciences, sciences humaines et épistémologie, à Paris, Zurich, Manchester, Milan, Oslo, Amsterdam, Bruxelles et ailleurs. Quatre axes géographiques vont devenir déterminants (Paris, Manchester, Bruxelles, Amsterdam) pour fournir les principaux contingents d'acteurs qui interviendront au Centre durant sa première décennie. Piaget a également pris soin de s'assurer le soutien financier de la Fondation Rockefeller à New York, d'une part pour ses premières explorations et d'autre part pour l'ouverture du Centre en octobre 1955. L'article examine ainsi les conditions de création d'un lieu du savoir durant les premiers temps de la guerre froide dans ses relations avec les circulations scientifiques, et la genèse d'une nouvelle centralité valide pour l'épistémologie mise en pratique comme discipline scientifique.
