Abstract
Reviews the book, The Child's Conception of the World by J. Piaget (1929). In his previous books, The Language and Thought of the Child, and Judgment and Reasoning in the Child, Piaget has acquainted us with his evidence that children up to the age of seven or eight are fundamentally egocentric, their language unsocialized, and their reasoning devoid of objectivity. In the present volume he shows that children's conceptions of the world are characterized by realism, animism, and artiflcialism. Piaget's writings are not merely splendid examples of ingenuity and cautiousness of method; they are vital revelations of the nature of the child mind. Happily the author has been most generous in interspersing samples of children's conversations. Such material not only furnishes necessary illustration; it makes Piaget's volumes valuable documentary contributions to genetic and social psychology.
