This article considers six of the major concepts of constructivism through the use of an excerpt from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865/1971). It offers an alternative to our conventional notions of reality through its references to Humberto Maturana's (1981) ontology of structure determinism and George Kelly's (1955) personal construct psychology.
