Abstract

 

The present study seeks to identify the nature of the relationship between social reality and consciousness from a perspective that we call interactive, and to examine their contribution to the social character of the other. In particular, consideration of the relationship between reality and consciousness has often taken a unilateral character in the discussions about it, whether among sociologists in particular, or among the scholars in social sciences in general, where the focus was on the identification of the pre-existing of consciousness or the existence.

In so far as the difference in responses has enriched sociology with opinions and theories to the extent that it has left a profound impact on the point of view of the assessment of what is the primary and what is marginal in the relationship between consciousness and social existence. Apart from these unilateral and sharp estimates, the present study attempts to clarify the relationship between social consciousness and social existence through what can be called the picture of reality in the minds of social actors as embodied by the reality of the relationship between values ​​and reality because values ​​constitute an important aspect of consciousness and, at the same time, directing people's relations and their behaviors in reality that is characterized by the diversity of its aspects and themes.
