The social construction of reality

Book • 1966
In 'The Social Construction of Reality', Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann argue that reality is not an objective fact but a social artifact constructed through human interactions and agreements.

The book delves into the processes of externalization, objectivation, and internalization, explaining how societies collectively construct concepts, roles, and institutions.

It challenges the notion of an objective reality, highlighting the role of social context, power dynamics, and communication in shaping our understanding of the world.
