Relational sociology draws attention to non-utilitarian aspects of sociality that reach beyond instrumental rationality, and presents the issue of relational reason. Shaping a civil society under cultural plurality requires reflection upon relational rationality. This book focuses on relational goods as an emergent effect of social relations.
