The Sociogony re-examines the social ontology of what Durkheim
calls 'social facts' in the light of critical and progressive
hostilities to the facticity of facts and the necessity of moral
absolutes in the shift from bourgeois liberalism to a neoliberal
global order. The introduction offers a wide-ranging rumination on
the concept of the absolute after its apparent downfall; the
chapter on facts turns the problem of external authority on its
head and the chapter dealing with the sociogony situates facts in a
process of generation, rule, and decay. Drawing heavily on the
works of Hegel, Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, the resulting synthesis
is what the author refers to as a Marxheimian Social Theory that
offers a new map and a stable ontology for the homeless mind.
