[Jeff]

"Radical Constructivism" is an outstanding book about a new way to understand knowledge and learning. Most books about knowledge and epistemology are philosophy books, but this one also includes the developmental psychology of Jean Piaget. In essence, constructivism teaches that humans construct knowledge dynamically based on their experiences in life. Knowledge is not about facts, but about learning what works and what doesn't as one goes about living and surviving in a challenging world. This book is written in clear, easy-to-understand language, and it offers a way of understanding knowledge and learning that makes sense given the subjective psychological nature of human experience. I'm glad I found this book--I've been searching for it for most of my life.

Mein zweites Buch, mit dem ich in die Welt des Konstruktivismus eingetaucht bin. Ideen, die meine Sichtweise auf die Welt geändert haben und Verbindungen zu anderen Gebieten ziehen.
