This volume aims at giving the reader an overview over the most
recent theoretical and methodological findings in a new and rapidly
evolving area of current theory of society: social ontology. This
book brings together philosophical, sociological and psychological
approaches and advances the theory towards a solution of
contemporary problems of society, such as the integration of
cultures, the nature of constitutive rules, and the actions of
institutional actors. It focuses on the question of the background
of action in society and illuminates one of the most controversial,
cross-disciplinary questions of the field while providing insight
into the ontological structure of groups as agents. This volume
offers an interesting and important contribution to the debate as
it does well in bridging the gap between the analytical and the
continental tradition in social philosophy. In addition, this
volume expands the reach and depth of the philosophy of sociality
by relating it to philosophical ideas from the late 19th and early
20th centuries and to key thinkers such as Husserl, Heidegger, and
Bourdieu. The contributors include internationally renowned
scholars as well as a highly selected set of younger scholars whose
work is at the cutting edge of their field. Scholarly, yet
accessible, this book is an essential resource for researchers
across the social sciences.
