Summary/Abstract: Inclusion, as an ambiguous concept and a significant social phenomenon, is the focus not only of academic community and researchers but also of a very agile NGO sector, numerous organizations and movements but encouragingly, more and more governmental institutions within the welfare state, are providing a legal framework in which inclusive processes can be implemented. The ambiguity of inclusion allows a myriad of different approaches and perspectives that ultimately obscure the essence of its nature and role in society. The diversified nature of inclusion generates different perceptions, attitudes, and opinions about its public placement, which in practice postulates a significant number of different connotations. We understand inclusion in the broadest sense as an involvement, where the key idiom of the researched phenomenon that objectifies social inclusion in its broadest sense is abstracted from such an understanding. This paper aims to question and investigate, from a theoretical point of view, explicit and implicit definitions of inclusion, which in any disposition cannot be observed outside society, using the following methods: content analysis, description, induction, deduction, generalization, abstraction, and comparison. Having in mind all the researched complexity of inclusion that pragmatically synthesizes its teleological and utilitarian characteristics, we consider it important to offer a sociological deconstruction of the phenomenon through this research and thus give another contribution to the current tendencies of the academic community for the most authentic understanding of essential phenomenology.
