Jean Piaget (1968), Le structuralisme, Paris: Presses Universitaires de France (Que sais-je? 1311), 125 pp.; English translation Structuralism, trans. and ed. Chaninah Maschler, New York: Basic Books, 1970 — https://openlibrary.org/works/OL1303734W
Key takeaways
Filed, not read: no lawful full text was reachable (see the history note). Known here only by the edition’s description in its Open Library work record (OL1303734W), which reads, in translation: it is often said that structuralism is hard to characterise because it has taken too many forms to share a common denominator, and the “structures” invoked have acquired increasingly different meanings; comparing the senses it has taken in the contemporary sciences, a synthesis nevertheless seems possible: there is a common ideal of intelligibility that all “structuralists” reach or seek, while their critical intentions vary without limit. Nothing beyond that description is asserted here.
Standing in the record
Filed on 2026-10-09 from the manuscript bibliography of 2026-10-09 (work
what-survives-translation) at the owner’s request: the manuscript
considered it and dropped it from the final reference list. See the
curation entry of that day. It is filed, not read, and stays Unavailable
until a lawful copy is supplied.
The English edition, Structuralism (trans. and ed. Chaninah Maschler, Basic Books, 1970; Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1971), is filed separately as LIT-837 (2026-10-09). Its lawful access was checked again for the English edition specifically, with the same result: lending-only at the Internet Archive, Limited at HathiTrust, so it too is filed, not read.
