Summary: Super, just super
Comment: This book seems to have fallen out of the Peter Berger canon, and that is a shame. I found the book very interesting, and as relevant as ever. I fail to see why Berger hasn't maintained a strong currency to this day. This book should be seen as both a continuation of Marx's thought, and at the same time, the most important critique of it. Marx fails to realize the power of bureacracy to alienate the individual, and he also overlooks the inherent alinenating nature of technology. Berger corrects these two problems....Now, will anyone listen?

Summary: How Consciousness is shaped by social institutions
Comment: One of many great books by Chairman Berger which tells us how social institutions from the middle ages into modern bureaucracy has a profound effect on consciousness and ways of knowing. Berger describes how the modern world is befret of an overarching soci-political-religious framework such as existed in the middle ages. Instead of religious and moral ideals guiding our lives, we are governed and contolled by econonomic and bureaucratic principals---a sad decline in the fabric and cohesion of social life.
