Abstract
- The author responds to an article by philosopher Tony Lawson who examined his work on social ontology. He discusses the conditions of adequacy of a theory of social ontology. He explores the basic ontology of human civilization and the requirements for the minimal apparatus necessary to explain human social ontology. He also examines the important role of language in the construction and the constitution of social reality.
