“I am convinced that there is no sort of boundary between the living and the mental or between the biological and the psychological. From the moment an organism takes account of a previous experience and adapts to a new situation, that very much resembles psychology.” MomentsSituationPsychologyAccountsConvincedBoundariesPsychologicalOrganismsNew Situations Book:Conversations with Jean Piaget Source: Conversations with Jean Piaget

“How can Hitler, or some other murderer, appear in this world?
