The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge

The classic work that redefined the sociology of knowledge and has inspired a generation of philosophers and thinkers
Â
In this seminal book, Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann examine how knowledge forms and how it is preserved and altered within a society. Unlike earlier theorists and philosophers, Berger and Luckmann go beyond intellectual history and focus on commonsense, everyday knowledgeâ€”the proverbs, morals, values, and beliefs shared among ordinary people.
Â
When first published in 1966, this systematic, theoretical treatise introduced the term social construction,effectively creating a new thought and transforming Western philosophy.
