Piaget according his own arguments

In this article we intend to show the reader an outline of one of the most important aspects of our structural analysis on Jean Piaget’s work, especially the very close relationship between Biology and Logic as far as his understanding of scientific logic is concerned. Therefore we have tried to demonstrate the scientific importance of two piagetian concepts, significant implication and mental image, which creates an extremely important new field on psychological research that I decided to name as “non-logical signifiyng systems”. As far as we can see, this field helps filling the gap between two elements: reason and emotion. Research on these two elements have been carried out until today by researchers of normal and pathological phenomena in psychological science. The structural analysis on Jean Piaget’s work has been conducted by Professor Zelia Ramozzi Chiarottino over the last 4 decades.
