Excellent introduction to social ontology. This has really whet my appetite to learn more about this branch of philosophy.

Excellent project and excellent content. However, I did miss the mention of precursors and research outside the very limited world of anglosaxon philosophy.

Good stuff. For all its attempts, Sociology still doesn't have a core, agreed ontology which really pisses me off so I made one up to use in everyday life and business. Hopefully this new subject can do a better job than me and offer some core agreement across the social sciences :)

I thought more emphasis should be placed on essence or the core of human existence, if the distinction from appearance can be justified, in terms of how an essential reality describes relations. The series of questions was difficult to place in a 'core reality' context.
