Genetic epistemology is a theory of knowledge developed by the Swiss psychologist and philosopher Jean Piaget. It focuses on how individuals construct knowledge and understanding through their interactions with the world, emphasizing the developmental processes that lead to epistemic growth. The term "genetic" in this context refers to the origins and development of knowledge, rather than genetics in the biological sense. Piaget proposed that knowledge is not simply acquired or transmitted; rather, it is actively constructed by individuals as they engage with their environment.
