Abstract Jean Piaget’s (1896-1980) worldwide reputation is built on his work as a child psychologist. Yet he claimed to be interested less in actual children than in the “epistemic subject. “ The epistemic subject is made up of that which is common to all subjects at the same level of development. Thus the epistemic subject is abstract because it is not meant to correspond to any concrete individual and because Piaget insisted on describing it in abstract formal language. Not surprisingly, therefore, the most widespread image of Piaget today rests on his emphasis on logic, or formalization, as the essential tool for construing the subject of cognitive studies. Although Piaget did not deny the importance of social and affective: life, he simply did not consider it central to his work.
