All that it applies to.

I am trying to understand something that I have never approached.

It could be kicked over to the Religeon threads.

I am trying to grasp what may be simple to some here, as I pass over a lot because it is way over my head.

Perhaps I should not be so excited about trying to learn something new and come back with this kind of vanity when I understand more.

Not at all. And if we get kicked to another thread, that's OK, too. Anyways, these concepts are highly fascinating. Well, for you and me at least, not generalizing here. Coming from the science field originally, I started only a year ago getting into this.

Metaphysical objectivism is close to positivism. That is, the notion that knowledge per se must be scientific knowledge. It requires that complex theories can be broken down into individual statements, at least some of which are testable. Contrarlily, constructivism demands that our idea of reality is a subjective construction rather than an assembly of objective statements.
