The Construction of Social Reality by John R. Searle is a philosophy book exploring how human agreement, language and collective practices create social facts and institutions.
It addresses a central question: how can things such as money, marriage, property and government be real when their existence depends partly on what people collectively accept?
Searle distinguishes these socially dependent facts from aspects of physical reality that exist independently of human agreement.
Through examples and philosophical analysis, he explains institutional facts, collective intentionality and the role of language in shaping social life. This book offers readers a framework for examining how societies create meaning, rules and shared institutions. It may interest students and readers of philosophy, sociology, political theory, epistemology and social sciences, as well as anyone curious about how society functions. For learners in Nairobi and across Kenya, it can support academic study and independent exploration of social institutions.
