Summary

This quote highlights the concept of radical constructivism, which involves a departure from conventional thinking by proposing a theory of knowledge that does not align with the notion of an objective, independent reality. In this perspective, knowledge is not seen as a reflection of an ontological truth or absolute reality, but rather as a subjective and constructed understanding of the world. This approach challenges traditional notions of knowledge acquisition and emphasizes the active role of the individual in constructing their own understanding of reality.

The Chinese pianist Liu Chi Kung was imprisoned for seven years during the Cultural Revolution, during which time he had no access to a piano.
