Thomas Luckmann

Thomas Luckmann was a sociologist best known for his work on how society shapes individual consciousness and reality. He argued that our understanding of the world is constructed through social interactions and shared norms, which become ingrained in our minds over time. According to Luckmann, knowledge and meaning are largely produced and maintained by society, influencing how we see ourselves and others. His ideas help explain how social processes create the sense of reality we typically accept as natural, emphasizing the dynamic relationship between individual experience and social structures.
