"Radical constructivism, thus, is radical because it breaks with convention and develops a theory of knowledge in which knowledge does not reflect an 'objective' ontological reality"

- Paul Watzlawick

About this Quote

Radical constructivism is a philosophical approach to knowledge that challenges traditional views of understanding and reality. It proposes that knowledge is not a reflection of an objective reality, however rather an item of the individual's own construction of truth. This suggests that understanding is not an outright fact, however rather a subjective analysis of truth. This view of understanding is radical since it breaks with the standard view of understanding as a reflection of an objective reality. Rather, it suggests that knowledge is an item of the person's own building and construction of truth. This view of knowledge has implications for how we view the world and how we engage with it. It recommends that knowledge is not a repaired entity, however rather something that is constantly changing and developing as we interact with the world.
