Development of thinking: relations between the individual and society as indissociable elements

Resumo

Amidst the discussions and reflections about the development of thought in children, questions are being raised about the endogenous and exogenous factors in this process, generating different conceptions that sometimes privilege the innate mechanisms of the individual, and sometimes the action of the environment on its development. In view of this, this essay presents a reflection on Jean Piaget's contributions to the understanding of how thought is constituted in this relationship between the individual and society in an inseparable movement. Thus, when considering the origin of thought, Piaget's conception of the development of the human intellect is presented.
