The Social Construction of Reality
A watershed event in the field of sociology, this text introduced “a major breakthrough in the sociology of knowledge and sociological theory generally” (George Simpson, American Sociological Review). 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.
The Structures of the Life-world
The Structures of the Life-World 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.

Thomas Luckmann, a former student of Schutz's, completed the manuscript for publication after Schutz's untimely death.

The essays which follow are offered not only as a tribute to an irreplaceable friend, colleague, and teacher, but as evidence of the contributors' conviction of the eminence of his work. No special pleading is needed here to support that claim, for it is widely acknowledged that his ideas have had a significant impact on present-day philosophy and phenomenology of the social sciences. In place of either argument or evaluation, I choose to restrict myself to some bi~ graphical information and a fragme...
Thomas Luckmann
Thomas Luckmann – Ein »Klassiker der dritten Generation«. Thomas Luckmann gilt als kardinaler Bezugsautor für das Wiedererstarken der verstehenden, interpretativen Soziologie in den letzten Jahrzehnten. Die gemeinsam mit Peter L. Berger verfasste »Gesellschaftliche Konstruktion der Wirklichkeit« rangiert zusammen mit Werken Max Webers und Emile Durkheims unter den zehn bedeutsamsten soziologischen Büchern überhaupt. Luckmanns Werk hat eine Wirkung entfaltet, die jedoch weit über die Soziologie hinausreicht. Es umfasst Beiträge zur Methodologie und Lebensweltanalyse, zu Handeln und Wissen, zu Religion, zu Sprache und Kommunikation, sowie zu Identität und Moral. Der einleitende Ban...
