Abstract

> upshot • Siegfried J. Schmidt’s processoriented constructivism, with which he proposes to dissolve the debate about realism, offers myriad intellectual challenges to constructivists from numerous different disciplines. While “From Objects to Processes” seems to represent a review of Schmidt’s work rather than a new addition to the debate, it derives in a convincing fashion the importance of a processand action-based unending constructivism from a combination of Schmidt’s own previous positions and a number of central epistemological questions.
