J. Roy Hopkins has written about the enduring influence of Jean Piaget, very much discussed in the BEd. program in the 90’s, among people involved with cognitive neuroscience.
Piaget’s interview ended with a question about how he saw the future of psychology.“With optimism,” he replied. “We see new problems every day.” More than 40 years later, I think it is fair to say that Piaget’s influence remains strong and that his optimism was justified. Much of the revolution in cognitive neuroscience was anticipated by Piaget’s approach. The “contemporary biological revolution” that he believed had bypassed the behaviorists has continued unabated since Piaget’s death in 1980. I think if he could be interviewed today, he would express delight in the direction of the field.1
If Piaget’s approach is applied to Designing and Constructing a TRUE Net Zero City use of familiar terms that can be applied in a practical way now may facilitate assimilation of this “new situation” based on concepts of changing one parameter at a time, environmental kinship as expressed in documents since 2015, understanding how “greed” has become entrenched in our economic system in the past decades,
