'Naked before Reality; Skinless before the Absolute': A Critique of the Inaccessibility of Reality Argument in Constructivism.
Nola, Robert
Science and Education, v12 n2 p131-66 Feb 2003
Discusses the old claim in philosophy that attempts to undermine any realist account of truth and thus knowledge in science and elsewhere. Explains that the constructivists take this to heart and look for accounts of knowledge that are anti-realist and/or constructivist in which the role of the external world in knowledge is downplayed or non-existent. (Contains 45 references.) (Author/YDS)
