I really enjoyed this class for giving the opportunity to explore the limits of what is constructed and what is real. We are to an extent distant from 'the real' but we also interact with the real world outside of ourselves. What is most fascinating about our situation is that we socially construct our world, not in the sense that we literally create it, but that we collectively decide in a complex litany of conscious and unconscious action in every moment our entire understanding of the world.
Our understanding is no doubt strongly influenced by the real world, but so much of the world we live in is constructed. Maybe, to give my metaphysical view of constructivism a moral value, if all the participants in a construct understood exactly what in the world is constructed we could all decide together what sort of world we want to construct.
A great project I hope someone undertakes is defining the limits of what is constructed and what is reality,
