Footnotes to "The Many Faces of Constructivism."
Glasersfeld, Ernst von
Educational Researcher, v25 n6 p19 Aug-Sep 1996
Clarifies the author's position on constructivism and whether nature determines what is produced as knowledge in human development. The author states his form of constructivism as a theory of rational knowing, not a metaphysics of being, for whatever things we know, we know only insofar as having constructed them as viable entities in our conceptual world.
