Features: The "Essentials of Piaget's Genetic Epistemology Translation Series" consists of four volumes. The 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. This is not its novel aspect. The truly novel aspect lies in the new turn in the views Piaget adhered to. Following Piaget's structuralist approach proposed in earlier developmental stages, the series presents a new transformative deepening and expansion (method), broadening our horizons. This book is divided into two parts. Part I was written by Piaget, who intended to integrate it with Garcia's research findings to complete the work. In the second part of the book, Garcia focuses on elaborating 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.
