Abstract

Abstract After having recalled Piaget’s main contribution to epigeny, his historical work on children’s postnatal development is considered. Then, some expansions of these frameworks into both directions, that of ontogeny and that of culture and social interaction, are worked out. The question of up to which point it is possible to speak of innate endowment of the child is raised. Finally, the important issue of culture is examined.
