Abstract :
Although philosophical psychology has obvious differences with new psychology in terms of subject and method; But if you look closely, you can find some common issues in them. One of these issues is Jean Piaget's stages of cognitive development in new psychology, which is comparable to Avicenna's levels of theoretical reason in many ways. So that the four levels of theoretical reason in Avicenna have the same process and survey as Piaget's stages of cognitive development. Piaget's theory of cognitive development is a comprehensive theory about the process of human identification. This theory studies the ability of children in their developmental stages and their interaction with the environment. Piaget believed that in the process of cognitive development, the child is an active participant and plays the main role, while in Avicenna's thinking, the initiative does not belong to the human ego .Therefore, this article compares Piaget's cognitive development with the levels of theoretical reason in Avicenna's thought with a descriptive analytical method .
