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.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life... I wanted to live so sturdily and so Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life... to drive life into a corner to know it by experience and be able to give an account of it in my next excursion.
