Abstract
This theoretical paper deals with the sometimes unclear concept of <social
representations>, appeared in 1961 and meant to explain much of social
psychology by using one single, unifying concept. The concept is studied through
its relationship to <collective representations>, <common knowledge> and
<scientific knowledge>, <ontological realism>. While the concept does not
have a single, comprehensive definition, the paper wishes to find all the
elements for such a definition, thus filling a gap in the literature on the matter.
In general, the paper presents various ways in which images of reality or
rather many different kinds of reality are formed.
Keywords: social representations, collective representations, wide-spread
beliefs, common knowledge, scientific knowledge, anchoring, objectification,
ontological realism
