"معرفة الواقع تعني بناء أنظمة من التحولات التي تتوافق بشكل أو بآخر مع الواقع"
— Jean Piaget
Simplified Meaning:
To truly understand the world, we need to create tools or methods that help us see things as they really are. Think of it like using maps to navigate a city. The map is not the city itself, but if it is well-made, it helps you find your way around, showing roads, buildings, and landmarks correctly. If the map is unclear or wrong, you might get lost or confused. In the same way, we need to build accurate ways of thinking that match the real world. This could be scientific theories, models, or simply new ways of seeing and understanding things. By doing this, we can make better decisions and understand the world better. For instance, scientists develop theories to explain natural phenomena. These theories are like maps that describe how things work. If a theory is accurate, it can predict the results of experiments, just as a good map can help you find a location. If the theory doesn’t match reality, it needs to be improved or replaced. In everyday life, when you try to understand a complex situation, like a social conflict or health issue, creating a clear, accurate 'map' of what's happening can help you find effective solutions.
