ABSTRACT:
The whys of the children in Piaget's genetic psychology and psychoanalysis and learning difficulty. This article discusses the role played by the enigma in the learning difficulty and, consequently, the relevance of the child's interminable whys which take place at a specific stage. With this purpose, this article brings a conversation between Piaget's argument and the psychoanalytic approach about the referred child's whys. In this sense, this article argues that even though learning is sustained on the assumption of the Other's knowledge, in different contexts, we can verify learning failures due to the absence of sustainability of the enigma introduced by the Other's inconsistent knowledge, whose matrix are the child's investigations with all their whys.
