English | February 5, 1991 | ISBN: 0140135480 | EPUB | 256 pages | 1.7 MB

The classic work that redefined the sociology of knowledge and has inspired a generation of philosophers and thinkers

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 knowledge-the proverbs, morals, values, and beliefs shared among ordinary people.

When first published in 1966, this systematic, theoretical treatise introduced the term social construction,effectively creating a new thought and transforming Western philosophy.
