A general and systematic text on the role of knowledge in society, aimed at promoting both critical discussion and empirical research. This book concerns the sociology of 'what is considered knowledge in society'. It particularly focuses on 'common sense knowledge', which constitutes the reality of everyday life for the ordinary citizen. The authors seek to present an analysis of knowledge in everyday life within the framework of a theory of society as a dialectical process between objective and subjective reality. The development of a theory of institutions, legitimations, and socializations has implications beyond sociology, and their 'humanistic' approach holds significant importance for other social scientists, historians, philosophers, and anthropologists.
