Abstract
From my point of view, “society” may be described as a structure of the multi-layered social relations caused by the mutualization of individual person's social actions. In substance, it consists of the following three layers : communion, community and communication.
Social relations acquire autonomy regarding a subject of means and the substance of normative values. Verdinglichung and Versachlichung are contained in this autonomy.
Social relations, formed by the interaction of human activities, produce Verdinglichung I in “economic” social relations, Versachlichung II in “political” social relations and Verdinglichung III of human relations and a character of consciousness in “cultural” social relations.
Furthermore, such an autonomy--the separation of the subject of social actions from social rerations--destroys the organic integrity of Sinn which consists of “sense”, “significance” and “meaning”.
So, contemporary sociological theory on communicative action and “cultural” social relation must be persuasive in its analysis of the reconstruction of Sinn amongst of this “informative” modern societies. In my view, it should be founded by a theorizing from the “Gestalt” between “external” nature--environmental world--and “internal” nature-human nature itself in individual personality--.
