Abstract

The history of humanity can also be seen as a history of ideas. Ideas, like peoples, cross time and space. Sometimes, like a karst river, they sink then reappear in another time, in another place. Ideas, from a Personal Constructivist Psychology perspective, are constructs that channelize our experience and are, at the same time, rooted in experience. Ideas are paths to follow, ways forward into the future. Cultural groups, like tribes, identify themselves with these paths, which occasionally intersect other paths, interweaving or not. The stories of these ideas can be narrated. Even constructivism, intended in a comprehensive way, in its various forms and names, could be seen as a long story, whose traces emerge here and there over time and space. This presentation is the attempt to tell this story, tracing its signs, the reoccurring, common questions and answers that have generated and characterized it, albeit in different historical periods and places. Further effort will be made to tell the story, entrenched in this wider story, of one of its “tribes,” Personal Construct Psychology, and trying to imagine its future.

摘要

人类史也可以看作是一部思想史。想法，就像人民一样，跨越时间和空间。有时，就像喀斯特河流一样，它们会下沉，然后在另一个时间、另一个地方重新出现。从个人建构主义心理学的角度来看，想法是引导我们经验的结构，同时也植根于经验。想法是要遵循的道路，是通往未来的道路。文化群体，如部落，认同这些路径，这些路径偶尔会与其他路径相交，交织与否。这些想法的故事可以叙述。甚至以各种形式和名称的综合性建构主义，也可以被视为一个漫长的故事，其痕迹随着时间和空间出现在这里和那里。这个演示是试图讲述这个故事，追踪它的迹象，重复发生，产生和表征它的常见问题和答案，尽管在不同的历史时期和地点。将进一步努力讲述这个故事，根深蒂固在这个更广泛的故事中，它的“部落”之一，个人建构心理学，并试图想象它的未来。
