Questions I have for Constructivists or those who know what it is

1. How did you construct the theory of constructivism if one of the premises of constructivism is that we can not know anything beyond our own mind?

2. What is logic?

3. Do I exist? (prove it)

4. Why is my major (education) so obsessed with a theory of learning that can not be proved to be true, otherwise it would be proved to be false?

5. Why do you do so much research if you can not actually know if what you are studying is real?

6. Although you can not explain reality, can you explain how you know that we can not know reality?


What's great is that an honest constructivist can't tell me that I'm wrong because they would be disproving what they believe. So, this is kind of an unfair fight. I may continue to add question on here, feel free to do the same.

Also, just to note: Constructivism is a learning theory and should not be confused with Relativism as a philosphy, but Constructivism does have roots in Relativism.
