This essay takesas its point of departureCavicchi's (2006) argument that knowledge develops through experimentation, both in science and in educational settings. In attempting to support and extend her conclusions, which are drawn in part from the replication of some early tasks in the history of developmental psychology, the late realist-constructivist theory of Jean Piaget is presented and summarized. This is then turned back on the subjects of Cavicchi's larger enquiry (education and science…

TLDR
This essay complexifies the understanding of both of Thomas Kuhn and Jean Piaget's legacies by presenting two sites for that haunting, one located by engaging Forrester’s argument that the connection between KuhN and psychoanalysis was direct, and the other located by uncovering Piagets early psychoanalytic ideas uncovered through their interaction with his early biology and subsequent turn to philosophy.
