ontology of social reality

Ontology of social reality refers to the study of what exists in the social world and how those elements are understood. It examines the foundations and structures of social phenomena, such as institutions, norms, beliefs, and relationships, assessing their nature and existence. In simpler terms, it explores how we define and perceive social realities like family, government, or culture, and how these concepts shape our interactions and lives. By understanding this ontology, we can better appreciate the complex fabric of society and the meanings we attach to various social constructs.
