Abstract

Social ontology is the study of the nature of social being; those characteristics of reality that are necessarily dependent on human social interaction. There are two general approaches to social ontology in the literature. The first focuses on the ontological elaboration of theoretical concepts or assumptions of a particular author, theory, or approach. The second articulates a general conception of social ontology in which to anchor current or future theoretical and empirical research programs. This article introduces some major contributions to both approaches and discusses differences between them.
