The representation of the world in a text child is rather easy to reach, which offers an amazing journey into the mind of the young child. The approach of the author is very clinical. He observes the child through his own speech, the most spontaneous possible. But where the inattentive witness sees that the about fun and quirky, Piaget dune mark the organization thought of a world of childhood. Lenfant deducted little he need not néprouve quont the adults avoid contradictions, it merely approximations, similarities. He lives in a world sketched between his actions and his thoughts, where nothing is excluded, where anything can happen although the chance ny has no place. The child lives in a world in its own image which, like him, objects have a conscience, will, with whom he has unsuspected relationships. Thus the moon follows him, because she is curious and sintéresse him. Nature is concerned daider men, since it is they that they lont fully created. The little man also has magical powers and can control things. But like him, things sometimes lack dobéissance
This book teaches us how gradually, under the influence of his environment, the child renounces the first world, how he moves off center, becomes aware of his thinking and gradually reaches the logic. But it loses nothing because the logic of ladulte has never banned returns in this childish thought source of so much creativity.
Note finally that this book can certainly be classified in the psychology of the child, but his goal is fundamentally epistemological. He draws vividly the only two sides of the argument: légocentrisme one hand and his mistakes, and logical thinking, regulatory, open and constructive else part.
