Peter L. Berger

Peter L. Berger was a prominent sociologist known for his work on the sociology of knowledge and the social construction of reality. He explored how individuals and societies create and maintain beliefs and cultural norms. One of his key ideas is that our understanding of the world is shaped by social interactions and shared experiences. Berger co-authored the influential book "The Social Construction of Reality," which argues that reality is not just given, but built through social processes. His work has significantly impacted sociology, theology, and the study of modernity and pluralism.
