Abstract

Our daily lives are dominated by a profusion of organizations. This paper examines the impact of these ‘inescapabilities’ on our psyche from a sociological perspective. It first constructs a problem to which organizations can be interpreted as a solution, in order to then take a closer look at the construction of that solution. The central thesis is that the modern psyche cannot be understood without reference to this type of social system.
