Q&A #9 Realism or Antirealism?

"Radical Constructivism"

1. Read E. von Glasersfeld's essay, "An Introduction to Radical Constructivism."

2. In this essay, von G. writes: "we cannot possibly conceive of an unexperienced world" (p. 1). Later he applies this line of thought to apples (p. 5). Here's my question: Can we conceive of an unexperienced apple?

3. Write two questions of your own.

Extra reading: here's one of my many responses to von Glasersfeld: http://www.kjf.ca/75-TAJOH.htm
