Abstract

The general objective of this research project is to treat the question of the construction of the object according the Model of the System of Schemes of Actions and Operations on Symbols and Signs proposed by Tassinari (2014). This model articulates some of the principal theoretical and experimental results of Jean Piaget and his coworkers in Genetic Epistemology and Genetic Psychology. The project plans also to discuss these results from a philosophical viewpoint inspired by the Hegel's Speculative Philosophy. As proposed in Tassinari (2013 and 2015), this viewpoint considers that human beings are capable of developing philosophical and scientific systems, as a whole referred to here as Reason, and of dealing with characteristics of the human freedom in this context.
