Features: The "Essentials of Piaget's Genetic Epistemology Translation Series" consists of four volumes. This series focuses on the core aspects of Piaget's thought: exploring the continuity between the psychological development of children's thinking and the historical development of scientific concepts. However, this is not its novelty. The true novelty lies in the new turn in the views Piaget adhered to. After Piaget's structuralist approach in earlier stages of development, the new transformative deepening and expansion (method) proposed in this series broadens our horizons. The book is divided into two parts. Part I is written by Piaget, who intended to integrate it with Garcia's research findings to complete this work. In the second part of the book, Garcia focuses on elaborating on Piaget's unique contributions to the logic of meaning, which can only be fully understood within the framework of genetic epistemology. In the chapter "Logic and Genetic Epistemology," Garcia emphasizes that Piaget's primary purpose was not to make significant contributions to logic, but rather to develop a method for conducting epistemological analysis.
