Vygotsky and Piaget: A collective monologue

Journal/Book: Hum Develop. 1996; 39: Allschwilerstrasse 10, CH-4009 Basel, Switzerland. Karger. 237-242.

Abstract: This article presents a first and incomplete chronology of publications by Piaget and Vygotsky in which they criticize each other's ideas. It is shown that a genuine critical dialogue between the two failed to develop because Piaget did not reply to Vygotsky's lengthy criticisms at first. Several reasons for Piaget's initial reticence are considered.
