State organization: a subjective social “construct” or a real social object?

The author criticizes the opinion that “the state organization exists only in the minds of people”. The author believes that the state official is an elementary, indivisible unit of the state. The state official is a formalized social role. The social roles exist objectively, the state official exists objectively, and hence the state organization exists objectively. At the same time, the point of view “to exist objectively” is not an intersubjective construction, otherwise we will come to the anti-realism (the collective solipsism). The author analyzes the following points of view on the nature of social roles: Ralph Linton: “social roles are a transpersonal objective phenomenon”; Talcott Parsons: “the social role is a methodological construction”; Berger P. and Lukman T.: “social roles are an institutional phenomenon”; J. Moreno: “social roles exist in the psyche”. The author substantiates the point of view that a state organization is a real social object, and not an intersubjective “social construct”.
