(2002). Constructivism in psychology: Personal construct psychology, radical constructivism, and social constructivism. In J.D. Raskin & S.K. Bridges (Eds.), ''Studies in meaning: Exploring constructivist psychology'' (pp. 1–25). New York: [[Pace University Press]]. p. 4</ref> "not the neutral discovery of an objective truth".<ref>Castelló M., & Botella, L. (2006).

Westport, CT: Praeger. p. 263</ref> Whereas objectivism is concerned with the "object of our knowledge", constructivism emphasizes "how we construct knowledge".<ref name="Jonassen1991"/> Constructivism proposes new definitions for [[knowledge]] and [[truth]], which emphasize intersubjectivity rather than objectivity, and viability rather than truth. The constructivist point of view is in many ways comparable to certain forms of pragmatism.<ref>For an example, see Weber, Eric Thomas. 2010.
