Abstract

In the preceding chapters we have applied our framework for analyzing theories of conceptual or foundational development to some genetic structuralist theories. Now we will go into the relation between conceptual development and education. We begin by considering the relation between philosophy of development and philosophy of education, and the relation between foundational development and education in general.
