Social construction of reality

Edmund Burke

Edmund Burke(12 January 1729 – 9 July 1797) was an Anglo-Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist, and philosopher who served for many years in the British House of Commons as a member of the Whig party. He is mainly remembered for his support of the American colonies in the dispute with King George III and Great Britain that led to the American Revolution and for his strong opposition to the French Revolution. The latter made Burke one of the leading figures within the conservative faction of the Whig party (which he dubbed the "Old Whigs"), in opposition to the pro-French-Revolution "New Whigs", led by Charles James Fox. He also published a philosophical work. In this work he attempted to define Emotions and Passions as well as how they are triggered in a person. He is often regarded by conservatives as the philosophical founder of Anglo-American conservatism.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Niccolo Machiavelli Living from 1469 to 1527, Niccolo Machiavelli saw what we now consider the height of the Italian Renaissance- a period that produced some of Italy's greatest achievements in the arts and sciences, but that also produced horrible scandals and the establishment of foreign domination over the peninsula. Brought up while members of the powerful Medici family were masters of Florence, he studied the classics and learned to read and write in Latin He was a diplomat, a student of history, and a writer of comedy- and his sharp and unique insights changed the face of political science forever.

Renaissance

Renaissance was the cultural movement of Europe which was happened the 14th to the 17th century. it encompassed a revival of learning based on classical sources, the development of linear perspective in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform. Traditionally, this intellectual transformation has resulted in the Renaissance being viewed as the "bridge" between the Middle Ages and the Modern era.

The term Doctrinaire Radicalism refers to socio-cultural reforming or revolutionary activities which doesn’t even care whether human lives or certain happiness is harmfully affected for itself or not. It is certainly a devastating way of reforming human thoughts, e.g. the activities of revolutionaries had tried to do in The French Revolution in 1789.

As we, the human being are social creature and more precisely can’t live alone, naturally our way of whether thinking or living is vastly induced by many social facts like our interaction with others in our society, more specifically the persons around us. And a huge portion of it comes by inheriting from our ancestors. So what happens, even the concept of “Reality” or “Unreality” is also actually is nothing but a made up concept, inherited from past. That’s why it is called the reality which is Socially Constructed.

the word ‘A priori’ is used to distinguish between deductive and inductive way of thinking. A person can study over his social errors caused by inductive thinking and must get some Notions from its research. As its impact the notion can totally change the point of view/the way of thinking from experiential to logical. Thus the new notion got from the experimental process is called 'A priori'.
