Much of Jean Piaget's work is relevant, especially his last two (closely
related) books written with his collaborators:
Possibility and Necessity (1981/1983)
Vol 1. The role of possibility in cognitive development (1981)
Vol 2. The role of necessity in cognitive development (1983)
Tr. by Helga Feider from French in 1987
Also much of his earlier work, e.g. Piaget (1952) above.
Like Kant, Piaget had deep observations and intuitions about what needed to be
explained, but lacked an understanding of information processing mechanisms,
required for explanatory theories, especially explanations of possibilities.
