| Summary: | Social ontology has experienced significative growth in the last decades. In particular, a promising research agenda concerns social objects. The reference to social objects implies sharing a realistic conception of the world which allows a definitive departure from the post-modern vision of the social world as a fluid and elusive organism. A taxonomy that distinguishes between social, physical and ideal objects can, on the contrary, reinvigorate human sciences getting over the well-known methodological controversies of the last years. The theory of Documentality provides heuristic power and a solid basis for organisational resources: all potentially reliable sources for the web society. Documentality theory aims to represent a valid alternative to Searle ontology, and at the same time to offer both theoretical and practical developments.
