评发生认识论的"反省抽象"范畴

Cmments on Reflecting Abstraction in Piaget's Genetic Epistemology

论文分析了皮亚杰发生认识论中"反省抽象"范畴的发展脉络、主要内涵及其与某些相关概念(如概括化、平衡化、矛盾与否定的构造、意识化与觉知等)的联系。作者认为:反省抽象不仅体现皮亚杰的独创性,而且也是发生认识论中最为核心和最为重要的概念。它合理地解释了知识创新的源泉,使发生认识沦的逻辑一数学范畴研究及认知发展一般规律的研究奠基于科学认识论之上。作者主张应准确继承皮亚杰的学术遗产,深化对认知发展机制的探索。

This thesis analyses the evolution of Piaget's thoughts on reflecting abstraction and its main features, as well as clears up variant abstractions: empirical, pseudo - empirical, reflecting, reflected and meta - reflection, involving in the relations with generalization, equilibration, cognizance and construction of the novelty etc. The concept of reflecting abstraction should be recognized not only as Piaget's great creation, but also as the essentials to genetic epistemology. This concept of reflecting abstraction makes genetic epistemology an entirely different cognitive developmental theory, and provides a correct epistemological basis. We should further explore the mechanisms and processes of cognitive development by consulting Piaget's theory.
