The Construction of Social Reality

The Construction of Social Reality

by John Searle (Author)

Synopsis

This short treatise looks at how we construct a social reality from our sense impressions; at how, for example, we construct a 'five-pound note' with all that implies in terms of value and social meaning, from the printed piece of paper we see and touch.
