Hello-

Your request for more information on 'constructed meaning' brought to mind this
website:

RADICAL CONSTRUCTIVISM, Maintained by Alex Riegler
http://www.univie.ac.at/cognition/constructivism/index.html

It includes Links and References to many issues and people, including PCP's George
Kelly.

Best wishes, Gary Blanchard
