Piaget and the Role of the Law of Non-Contradiction in Thinking.

Kelly, I.W.

Psychology: A Quarterly Journal of Human Behavior, v17 n2 p15-18 Sum 1980

Examines Jean Piaget's theories on the laws of formal logic, and Johnson's claim that the law of noncontradiction is only descriptive of macroscopic objectives. Suggests Piaget and Johnson are wrong, since the possibility of saying anything significant and informative presupposes the law of noncontradiction is followed. (Author)
