This is the second part of a series of attempts to propose and demonstrate a new method of reading academic masterpieces, which are otherwise difficult for readers to grapple with. The proposed ‘Study Question Method’ helps students read through and understand the target academic manuscript precisely and critically. The sample piece selected in this series of essays is “The Social Construction of Reality—-A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge”, by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann. The paradigm introduced in this book later got to be known as social constructionism and has made a big influence on not only sociology but also other academic fields such as phycology, pedagogy, gender study, and science in nursing. This part 2 examines Chapters 1 and 2, which deals with the fundamental characteristics of everyday knowledge. It consists of study questions, and corresponding answers and comments.
