Social ontology is a rapidly growing field at the intersection of philosophy and social science that aims to study the nature and basic structure of social reality. It has the potential to greatly assist social researchers of all kinds by providing a more comprehensive understanding of social phenomena. One of the longest-running projects in social ontology has been developed over the past four decades by Tony Lawson and the Cambridge Social Ontology Group. The Cambridge projects aim to rectify the widespread explanatory failure of modern mainstream economics and the social sciences by conducting explicit and sustained inquiry into the nature of social material. The result is social positioning theory, which provides a powerful conception of social ontology and can clarify the natures of phenomena such as gender and the corporation. This book is an introduction to the key features of social positioning theory, provides context as to the theory's development, and illustrates how social positioning theory can clarify the natures of phenomena such as gender and the corporation. Cambridge Social Ontology is for social scientists, philosophers, and all readers interested in gaining a better understanding of the nature of social phenomena.
