Money, marriage, property and government are facts, yet they exist only because we believe they exist.

This short treatise looks at how we construct a social reality from our sense impressions; at how, for example, we construct a 'five-pound note' with all that implies in terms of value and social meaning, from the printed piece of paper we see and touch.In The Construction of Social Reality, eminent philosopher John Searle examines the structure of social reality (or those portions of the world that are facts only by human agreement, such as money, marriage, property, and government), and contrasts it to a brute reality that is independent of human agreement. Searle shows that brute reality provides the indisputable foundation for all social reality, and that social reality, while very real, is maintained by nothing more than custom and habit.

About our goodies...

  • Thank you

    Being a small business in Australia, we use drop-shipping for some items including our popular t shirts. Housing every design in every size and colour is impossible. We rely on manufacturing partners to ship these goodies straight to you. If you want goodies via our studio shop, we house tea towels, Blue Mountains socks, greeting cards and our vintage goodies which we ship directly via the studio shop.

  • Where will my item come from?

    Each product will list where it’s shipped from: via our studio shop OR our manufacturers. Because of the nature of drop-shipped items, please allow 10-28 working days delivery to your door (item will specify time). Please consider this when making your purchase.

  • Size Guide

    ALL SIZING: size guide IS HERE so that you can make an informed choice. Please measure, measure, measure carefully so you get the right fit for you. Includes adults and kids t shirts, hoodies, leggings, kimonos, bomber jackets, bags and more.

  • Returns

    To offer the widest range of designs and sizes, our t shirts and other drop-shipped goodies are made to order (meaning smaller impact in a fast fashion world). We therefore cannot exchange for change of mind or size on t shirts. Please read the size guide carefully on our t shirts to make an informed choice.
