I have always taken this as a religious statement - by Dewey. He
advocates a view of teaching he calls "constructivism", something
akin to postmodernist science studies, I think. Science studies
extremists believe that all physical law is constructed by human
thought (e.g. conservation of charge is a human mental construct)
and I have imagined that Dewey means to suggest that Einstein
held this opinion. It is unclear to me who said this, and in what
language it was said. Is this a statement from Einstein? Did it,
perhaps, occur in the context of a paragraph?
Einstein was not into solipsism.
