Abstract
The knowledge construction systems methodology supports the construction of new knowledge using the ideas in systems thinking and knowledge management. It consists of a knowledge construction system model, a dialectic knowledge construction method, and a set of knowledge justification principles called constructive objectivism. To emphasize the universality of the system model, this chapter shows that the model is derived naturally from the new tactics creation method by Yoshiharu Habu, a permanent grand master of Japanese chess. This model suggests that knowledge is constructed by the five abilities of actors in the four knowledge domains. Then, the chapter describes a knowledge construction diagram that supports to construct new knowledge dialectically and a set of principles to justify the constructed knowledge. Finally, after introducing some successful applications briefly, the chapter presents a new application to creating promotion stories of a traditional craft.
