Genetic epistemology, a field founded by Jean Piaget, studies the origins and development (genesis) of human knowledge—how cognitive structures form, change, and become more sophisticated from infancy through adulthood. As a book category, it includes foundational theories and empirical studies on stages of cognitive development; key mechanisms like assimilation, accommodation, and equilibration; and the construction of logical, mathematical, and scientific concepts. It also covers research methods for studying children’s thinking, educational applications and curriculum design informed by constructivism, and contemporary critiques and extensions connecting to cognitive science, AI, and neuroscience. Despite the name, it is not about genetics or heredity; “genetic” here refers to the genesis and growth of knowledge.
