Its great to see someone entreat in Kelly's PCP. As for your question, I am not
so sure; "Man looks at his world through transparent templets which he creates
and then attempts to fit over the realities of which the world is composed." As
far as my understanding is concerned, Personal constructs are 'antipatory
lenses', so I think that perhaps this comment "theory is no view" reflects Kants
sentiment that "concepts without content are empty". Im Not sure. But I will say
this, Piagets genetic epistemology compliments Kelly's PCP beautifully, both
have proven themselves to be very influential in the development of
constructivists thought in 20th century.
