Świadomość potoczna w ujęciu Petera L. Bergera i Thomasa Luckmanna

An analysis of consciousness is one of the key issue of the sociology of knowledge. Both the initiators and classics of this discipline dealt with it. Berger and Luckmann, the founders of a new paradigm in the area under considerations, also devoted much attention to it. They were interested in the common-sense consciousness, unlike their predecessors who were occupied with political, scientific, and world-view etc. consciousness. They dealt with this kind of consciousness in their most prominent book The Social Construction of Reality, and in numerous papers written separately by each of the authors. This paper puts together and orders various dispersed statements as regard the common-sense consciousness, in order to present it in a compact and complete picture.
