Popis: According to William I. Thomas, the concept of reality emerges as the complex result of unceasing intersubjective and intrasubjective dialogues, through which all human beings learn to define themselves and the surrounding world. In this way, both the sociological dimension and the biographic elements become necessary conditions for the understanding of the individual and the society, the latter seen as a network of human relations. The aim of this paper is to analyze the intellectual heritage of William I. Thomas and to investigate the influence of his ideas on contemporary sociological thought, especially with respect to those researchers that have been inspired by his work in developing new pathways in social theory and social research.
