Intersubjective constructivism

...This, combined with the knowledge of quantum mechanics, promoted liberation from physical realism and the establishment of a relational view of existence. Next, in terms of epistemology, the theory of relativity promoted the view of cognition of "intersubjective constructivism." In the view of science prior to the theory of relativity, "objective facts" were thought to exist independently and unrelated to the subject of cognition, but the theory of relativity, as mentioned above, made people aware that objective facts, such as "the relativity of simultaneity," "contraction of space," and "expansion of time," are relative to the observation system.

*Some of the terminology explanations that mention "intersubjective constructivism" are listed below.

…このことが，量子力学の知見とあいまつことによって，物理的実体主義からの解放，関係主義的存在観の確立を促すものとなった。　次に，認識論に即していえば，相対性理論は〈間主観的構成主義intersubjektiver Konstruktionismus〉の認識観を促すゆえんとなった。相対性理論以前の科学観においては，〈対象的事実〉は認識主観とは無関係に独立自存するものと思念されていたが，相対性理論は上述のように，〈同時刻の相対性〉をはじめ，〈空間の収縮〉や〈時間の伸長〉など，対象的事実が観測系と相対的であることを自覚せしめた。…
