2012
Abstrakt
The article deals with radical constructivist, social constructionist, and other choice postmodern views of reality. It examines how the issue of constituting reality relates to the notion of objectivity and to the possibility of truthful perception, and how a change of paradigm accompanied by a shift from the so-called expert knowledge influences the attitudes of researchers.
