Obituary: Ernst von Glasersfeld 1917-2010

摘要

When Ernst von Glasersfeld, in the seventh core concept of Radical Constructivism, stated that "radical constructivism cannot claim to be anything but one approach to the age-old problem of knowing" he might have been writing of himself. In his life, he often preferred to resolve differences not by the conflict of competitive argument, but by their accommodation. It is not that he allowed that anything goes, but rather that his sentiment was anti-authoritarian and that he moved to remove those elements that create conflict.
