Construction

I am about to read "The social construction of reality" for the second time. This time I will remember more aspects than when I read it for the first time.
I really like the introduction by Helmuth Plessner, in which he says that the sociology of knowledge of Scheler and Mannheim was a theory of bad conscience towards Marx. :-)
In their work the influence of ideology on knowledge was central.
That brings us back to religion. Ha!
Is it better to live in a geocentric or a heliocentric world? However, we still say that the sun rises instead of : "We have accomplished another rotation."
How come, that this trace of medieval bullshit (in the sense of Harry G. Frankfurt) is still in our heads and words.
I think it is better not to be in the centre of the Universe, but to be in an outer spiral arm of some smaller galaxy somewhere in time and space.
My conclusion is that religion and ideology are not the best friends of scientific knowledge. Religion on the other hand can be a means of orientation, that does not exist in science. Does it?
There is reason, logic and mathematics. Can they really help with ethics or normative orientation?
However, from Berger and Luckmann we learn, that all knowledge is socially constructed, through processes of institutionalization, due to the need for legitimization and finally is internalized by socialization.
So what about the social construction of God?
Nah. It is something you have to believe in with or without knowing.
For the moment I have to take a walk in the Bauernbergpark and leave the discussion of religion and science behind. I have to open my eyes and see, what is there. I have to feel the wind, and look after my dog. That is all much more important.
