Subject: HAB: To Piscioneri on Piaget


Dear Matthew Piscioneri:  

You wrote that you find unsatisfactory about Habermas's taking
Piaget's developmental model onboard.  I'm not sure whether that
means you find Piaget's model unsatisfactory, or that you find
Habermas's taking it onboard unsatisfactory.  Either way, I'd be
interested in reading why you think that.

Best,

Steve Chilton

|  They  perpetuate it.  When we are tortured, we shall be
|  tortured by experts.  When we are hanged, experts will hang
