Biography of Jean Piaget
Jean Piaget was born in Neuchâtel (Switzerland) on August 9, 1896.
He studied natural sciences at the University of Neuchâtel where he obtained a Ph.D. During this period,he published two philosophical essays which were very important for the general orientation of his thinking. After a semester spent at the University of Zürich where he developed an interest forpsychoanalysis, he left Switzerland for France. He spent one year working at the Ecole de la rue de la Grange-aux-Belles a boys' institution created by Alfred Binet .
In 1923, he married one of hisstudent coworkers, Valentine Châtenay. The couple had three children, Jacqueline, Lucienne and Laurent whose intellectual development from infancy to language was studied by Piaget.
Successively orsimultaneously, Piaget occupied several chairs: psychology, sociology and history of science at Neuchâtel from 1925 to 1929; history of scientific thinking at Geneva from 1929 to 1939; the InternationalBureau of Education from 1929 to 1967; psychology and sociology at Lausanne from 1938 to 1951; sociology at Geneva from 1939 to 1952, then genetic and experimental psychology from 1940 to 1971. He was,reportedly, the only Swiss to be invited at the Sorbonne from 1952 to 1963. In 1955, he created and directed until his death the International Center for Genetic Epistemology. By the end of hiscareer, he had written over 60 books and many hundreds of articles. He died in Geneva, September 16, 1980, one of the most significant psychologists of the twentieth century.

Piaget called his general theoretical framework "genetic epistemology" because he was primarilyinterested in how knowledge developed in human organisms. According to Piaget there are four primary structures:
The sensorimotor stage (0-2 years), intelligence takes the form of motor actions....
