A milestone of child psychology, The Child's Conception of the
World explores the ways in which the reasoning powers of young
children differ from those of adults. What conceptions of the world
does the child naturally form at the different stages of its
development? To what extent does the child distinguish the external
world from an internal or subjective world and what limits does he
or she draw between the self and objective reality? These questions
make up the first problem, the child's notion of reality. A second
fundamental problem is the significance of explanations put forward
by the child. What use does he or she make of the notions of cause
and law? Is the form of explanation presented by the child a new
type? These and like questions form the second problem, the child's
notion of causality. Jacques Voneche, Director of the Piaget
Archives in Geneva, Switzerland, provides a preface to this classic
in which he reveals the provanance of The Child's Conception of the
World within the context of Piaget's other work and the
then-burgeoning field of developmental psychology.
