Abstract
This chapter provides an overview on Jean Piaget Jean's approach to his work. In 1918, having graduated in Natural Sciences, Piaget obtained a doctorate with a thesis entitled “Alpine Molluscs”. Piaget got enrolled in the psychological laboratory at Zurich. There he attended Jung's lectures and amongst others read the works of Herbert Spencer which exercised considerable influence on his later writings. In his work the problem of Piaget has always been the same, and it arises out of Spencer's own doctrine of adaptation. Piaget's published works are extremely difficult to read, especially in the theoretical sections. There are several reasons for this and the first is that he is investigating and writing about an extremely intricate and involved process. Another minor cause is that all of his publications are written in French and it is often extremely difficult to find exact English equivalents for the original French terms used.
