Nomos (sociology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In sociology, nomos (plural: nomoi) is a habit or custom of social and political behavior that is socially constructed and historically specific.[1] It refers not only to explicit laws but to all of the normal rules and forms people take for granted in their daily activities.[2] Because it represents order that is validated by and binding on those who fall under its jurisdiction, it is a social construct with ethical dimensions.[3]
