Description
The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge
This influential book presents a comprehensive account of the role of knowledge in society, exploring how our understanding of the world is shaped by social forces. The authors examine the everyday knowledge that constitutes our reality, and how it is influenced by the interplay between objective and subjective reality.
With its humanistic approach, this work has significant implications for sociology, philosophy, anthropology, and other social sciences, offering a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between institutions, legitimations, and socialization.
