Under the term "Radical Constructivism," a theory of knowledge has emerged that posits that reality is not inherently present and accessible to us. Ernst von Glasersfeld, the founder of this "Radical Constructivism," seeks to awaken traditional epistemology from its dogmatic slumber with his provocative theses. For Glasersfeld, the concept of knowledge in this theory implies the idea that the world to be recognized is already fully present for the recognizing subject; it simply needs to be discovered, meaning perceived or somehow represented by the cognitive apparatus for consciousness. Ernst von Glasersfeld prefers the term knowledge over the already burdened concept of recognition. A knowing being possesses knowledge only when it has produced it through its own operations. Knowledge as a result.
