Ontological Sociology is a new approach to the study of social reality and is about the intersubjective experience of Being, rather than systemic epistemology. Ontological Sociology is a relatively new field that seeks meaningful profundity within social phenomena by examining the ontology of the social world, rather than the classifications and structures imposed upon it. It is less about how we classify and structure society and more about what actually constitutes the lived experience of relatedness in all its emergent complexities, which may include our ideas about the structure of society.
Ontological Sociology is grounded in the belief that life, society and culture are all living systems. An ontological sociologist would propose that social reality is not static but rather co-evolving with human beings who are constantly changing it through their actions. Ontological sociology holds that human beings are autopoietic systems, meaning they have a circular process of self-creation and environmental participation. This process of self-creation and co-relationship occurs through the interactions between individual agents and their environment.
The purpose of this subtle transignification is to facilitate the future expansion of transhuman evolutionary advancement, non-human collective subjectivities inclusive, in a way that brings our contemporary sociological narrative along with it in a continuous updated relevancy, rather than wallowing in the outmoded terms and erroneous cultural indoctrinations which have rendered the present state of sociology all but passe. The best way to get a feel for what we’re up to here, is by reading a few articles (which live in the Home page). Thanks for your interest!
