In the West, we are on the verge of a total collapse, the moral equivalent of a new ice age. Western art, literature, religion, academic philosophy, business life, crafts, manners, schools, and law enforcement have all deteriorated to the point that even salvage is dubious (Orwell). However, the right spirit does survive in many micro-institutions, and many of these are located in western New York State. So the history is not entirely bleak. Furthermore, the United Nations started a big push for making philosophical training available to the public around the world.
Constructivism and education do go together, along with the additional piece of field being. These three conceptually and ideally could be treated as one. Learning how to learn, learning how to question, and learning how to assess concepts, ideas, and strategies are essential. Without these pieces and understanding the basics, one cannot achieve higher-level thinking and criticism. Constructivism allows us to accomplish all of these tasks under the umbrella of education and field being. The verging of ideas and philosophy allows for creativity and flexibility across all fields and ideologies.
