searle and the construction of social reality
Definition
- In The Construction of Social Reality, published in 1995, John Searle proposed a theory as to how the social world fits naturally into a physical world. Searle's theory is grounded in one core idea that unifies all of his philosophical thought: There is one world constituted by physical matter, and whatever exists in this world must be physical.
