Constructivism

Constructivism

The view that something is created through human interaction, agreement, or a common understanding. For example, the game "chess" and the presidency of the United States are constructed. "Metaethical constructivism" is the view that morality exists in that way. Metaethical constructivism could claim that morality is based on our instinctual reactions or on a social contract.
