In this episode of American Socrates, we break down what it actually means for something to be a social construct. You’ll learn how ideas can be both invented and real at the same time. We trace the roots of social construction from philosophers like Hume and Kant to modern thinkers, and explain how institutions and collective belief shape our world.

Far from being just academic theory, this episode shows how social constructs shape your daily life, your identity, and your place in society. We also explore how recognizing them gives us the power to challenge injustice and reimagine the world we live in.

Whether you're new to the term or trying to understand what it means for real people in the real world, this is your clear and grounded guide to one of the most misunderstood ideas in modern thought.
