The Social Construction Of Reality Av Peter L. Berger, Thomas Luckmann

<p>A general and systematic account of the role of knowledge in society aimed to stimulate both critical discussion and empirical investigations.<br><br>This book is concerned with the sociology of ‘everything that passes for knowledge in society’. It focuses particularly on that ‘common-sense knowledge’ which constitutes the reality of everyday life for the ordinary member of society.<br><br>The authors are concerned to present an analysis of knowledge in everyday life in the context of a theory of society as a dialectical process between objective and subjective reality. Their development of a theory of institutions, legitimations and socializations has implications beyond the discipline of sociology, and their ‘humanistic’ approach has considerable relevance for other social scientists, historians, philosophers and anthropologists.</p>
