ABSTRACT
Theorizing consists of the methods for producing a possible society. A possible society is the theorist’s methods for re-forming his knowledge of society. The possible society that is an achievement of theorizing consists in and of the methods for its production. Analytically, the possible society is a method for re-forming society, and the author of such a doing can be conceived as a theoretic actor. The possible society can then be seen as the analytically conceived conditions of living together which the theorist elects to explicate when these conditions include this election itself and its grounds. The possible society is a procedure for imposing a sense upon the materials available to us; the “possible” character of the society consists in the fact that it is the product of a sense-transforming operation. The conditions for constructing a possible society are then conditions of formulating one sense of a society as an intentional object for the theorist.
