«Die erfundene Wirklichkeit» is the collective work on constructivism edited by Paul Watzlawick and published by Piper in paperback (326 pp., German).
Nine scientists from psychiatry, philosophy, mathematics and neurophysiology analyse how we know what we believe we know and the role of self-fulfilling prophecies and idealist assumptions in the creation of reality. Constructivism holds that there is no inside and outside, nor a world of objects separate from the subject.
Full title: «Die erfundene Wirklichkeit. Wie wissen wir, was wir zu wissen glauben? Beiträge zum Konstruktivismus». The original work appeared in 1981 and this Piper edition is from 2002.
For those interested in philosophy, psychology and theory of knowledge, as well as in constructivist thought.
Paul Watzlawick was an Austrian-American family therapist, psychologist, communication theorist, and philosopher. A theoretician in communication theory and radical constructivism, he commented in the fields of family therapy and general psychotherapy. Watzlawick believed that people create their own suffering in the very act of trying to fix their emotional problems. He was one of the most influential figures at the Mental Research Institute and lived and worked in Palo Alto, California.
