social construction of reality

In the embodied philosophical frame, truth lies elsewhere. The new philosophers would argue that if reality is something we make together out of our shared experiences, then truths are not objective autonomous phenomena but, rather, the explanations we make about the common experiences that we share with each other. When we say "we seek the ultimate truth," we are really saying that we seek to know the full extent of how all of our relationships fit together in the grand scheme. Our pursuit of the truth is the search for how we belong to the larger picture and why.
