The paper debates the topic of social reality as a relational reality, from the viewpoint of the relational theory of society. Society does not ‘have’ or ‘include’ social relations, but ‘consists of’ social relations. The social relation/ship is the ‘ultimate entity’, that is, the irreducible element or ‘molecule’ of social reality (that which gives the social its qualities, properties and powers).

Abstract
The paper debates the topic of social reality as a relational reality, from the viewpoint of the relational theory of society. Society does not ‘have’ or ‘include’ social relations, but ‘consists of’ social relations. The social relation/ship is the ‘ultimate entity’, that is, the irreducible element or ‘molecule’ of social reality (that which gives the social its qualities, properties and powers).File in questo prodotto:
