Dave Snowden writes: "It is surely illogical for someone to walk out on you because you suggest that Social Constructivists should wake up the fact that reality exists. Surely if you think everything is socially constructed then someone saying it doesn't is their own reality and equally valid?" I won't defend the social constructivist, or the walking out, but I've had variations of this conversation too many times. Simply: saying "reality exists" is just empty rhetoric until you start saying what exists, and it is on the question of what that our agreement - social or otherwise - founders.
