“DF. We shall call operations [the] interiorized actions or interiorizable actions, reversible and coordinated in total structures…” (vol. 2 of the Introduction to Genetic Epistemology, p 45). Sure, Dick, but unless you have a particularly interesting definition of 'observe', I doubt that mental operations are observable by a neurophysiologist, Piaget, or even the knowing, sentient subject. They may be inferred from their externalized consequences...but observed?? Kant could not observe the physical world; how could anyone observe the mental world? |
