Bøger af Thomas Luckmann

Den sociale konstruktion af virkeligheden er en klassiker inden for sociologien. Den udkom i 1972 for første gang på dansk med titlen Den samfundsskabte virkelighed. Siden har den været brugt på utallige uddannelsesinstitutioner.I denne nyeste oversættelse af bogen er både titel og tekst bragt i overensstemmelse med den terminologi, der i mellemtiden har vundet hævd. Finn Collin har forsynet bogen med en fyldig introduktion, der sætter bogen, og socialkonstruktionismen, i et historisk og kritisk perspektiv.

A general and systematic account of the role of knowledge in society aimed to stimulate both critical discussion and empirical investigations.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.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.

This book is the final focus of twenty-seven years of Alfred Schutz's labor, encompassing the fruits of his work between 1932 and his death in 1959. This book represents Schutz's seminal attempt to achieve a comprehensive grasp of the nature of social reality. Here he integrates his theory of relevance with his analysis of social structures.
