Abstract:
Peter L. Berger (1929-2017) was among the most prominent sociologists of the past half century. He co-authored with Thomas Luckmann, The Social Construction of Reality, considered to be a modern classic of social science. His work on social theory, the sociology of religion, third world development, and the role of capitalism in modern life define his enduring importance as a leading figure in social science.
