Essentially, Piaget and Vygotsky were saying the same thing. That we don't learn and cannot learn in isolation. That our learning is a result of our relationship and interaction with others.
For Vygostsky learning required the social interaction with others if they are to reach their full potential - "zone of proximal development".
Similarly,cognitive development for Piaget is the result of constant participation with others, self and the world - within the context of the cultural and the social. Hence, adapting to the environment in the form of assimilation and accommodation the individual will similarly reflect his or her environment.
