Both naive realism (the identity between reality and perception) and pure idealism (all reality is within subject) are considered outdated by social scientist Jurgen Kriz (1985: 11). Perception for him is an active production of structure, a process whereby a particular constitution and structuring of reality takes place as a result of hypotheses, needs, moods and so on-and in particular previous (1985: 21). According to Kriz, one of social aspects of constitution of reality on background of selective perception is fact that an individual who perceives given phenomena in a deviant fashion experiences rejection of his crazy perception by others as a considerable pressure. The wish to be a successful participant in social consensus and communication makes it appear desirable to join shared experience (1985: 22, 23). This is reinforced by fact that the structuring of experience as well as constitution of reality are differentiated in a way which is typical of prevailing society (1985: 31) and that there are also particular biological conditions of perception. The renunciation of ontological reality and truth, then, is compensated and removed from subject's individual experience
