Abstract

Social constructionism is a new paradigm within the social sciences. Its assumptions are the result of interweaving a diversity of sciences like psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, philosophy of language and philosophy of science. Its main focus is on the analysis of cultural processes of meaning-making. The author highlights some assumptions of the social constructionist view and its consequences for moral theories and philosophy of knowledge. It is argued that social constructionism should be considered as an important theoretical instrument for a diversity of theological subdisciplines.
