Abstract Drawing on the writings of Richard Rorty (eg, see Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature, Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1980), it is argued that constructivist conceptions are not simply constructs, but rely on social communication processes. To demonstrate that constructivism results in metatheoretical relativism, but does not imply relativism in theories, the example of educational science's desire that "openness" be accepted as a pedagogical principle is used.
