Knowing and the
Social
Interaction and the Development of Knowledge is an edited collection of papers
that attempts to develop a theoretical basis and justification for the study of social
interaction in development. The overall contribution of the book is the reintegration
of Piaget's Sociological Studies (1977/1995) within the English-speaking
developmental psychology after its late translation from French in 1995. This collection
can be seen as a valuable effort to reflect on the theoretical consequences
of Piaget's articles on current understanding of the role of social interaction in
cognitive development.
