The Handbook of Radical Constructivism

The Handbook of Radical Constructivism explores a psychological and philosophical view that knowledge is actively constructed by individuals through their experiences, rather than passively received from the external world. It emphasizes that each person interprets reality based on their perceptions, prior knowledge, and mental processes, meaning there’s no absolute or objective truth we can fully access. This approach encourages understanding how we create our own understanding of the world, influencing fields like education, science, and philosophy by highlighting the importance of personal perspective and the mental processes behind learning and knowing.
