Creative Activity and the Development of Consciousness: A Discussion With Piaget and Rudolf Steiner

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study aims to discuss the possibility of becoming conscious of certain aspects of one's own existence through creative activity.The discussion involves Piagetian constructivism and Steiner's ideas about human development and is justified by the contribution of creative activity to the development of autonomy, according to Piaget, and to the development of an ethical individuality, according to Steiner.The participation of adults in sessions of creative process, as well as the questions posed after this activity, asking for the relationships between what they created and their life, is evidence of practices favourable to increasing the grasping of consciousness of self and of the process of developing an ethical individuality.
